'It's really a special place,' said Trey Yates, a member of the family selling the ranch. 'A lot of incredible mystery.'
Spanning just about 110,000 acres, the Atarque Ranch in New Mexico covers more land than the City of Denver. 'To find something like this in west central New Mexico, it doesn't often surface,' said Jeff Buerger, a real estate partner for Hall and Hall.
For the first time in more than 45 years, the Yates family is ready to sell the property. 'My grandfather purchased the ranch in 1978, and he always loved being out in nature and loved New Mexico,' Yates explained.
Located about an hour's drive south of Gallup, near Fence Lake, the ranch has been used by the Yates family as a place to go hunting and enjoy other recreational activities. According to the seller, the property has bull elk, mule deer, and pronghorn antelope. Its vast acreage also has hidden Native American relics, such as arrowheads, pieces of pottery, and petroglyphs. 'The Native American petroglyphs and remnants of that era are incredibly prolific, and I think that's gonna have value to someone else to preserve as well,' Buerger said.
The family hopes to find a buyer who will preserve the ranch's sprawling landscape and wildlife. 'New Mexico Game and Fish does a good job of allowing landowners to be proper land stewards of the elk that are on their property,' Buerger explained.
The home of the ranch is just under 3,000 square feet. It also has a metal barn, equipment buildings, and sheds. When it comes to water, it has 26 wells, a spring, and 105 stock ponds. According to the seller, the ranch has water rights that cover about 60 acres. The ranch is priced at just over $68 million.
