The 922 acre Bar JA Ranch delivers what a true sporting property should: trophy elk habitat, annual tags, and genuine elevation and seclusion in the heart of Game Management Unit 9. Located on Mesa Chivato just north of 11,300-foot Mt. Taylor, the ranch holds documented bull elk exceeding 300 inches, alongside mule deer, black bear, and mountain lion, all across elevations averaging 8,400 feet through Ponderosa pine, pinon-juniper, and oakbrush hillside opening into native grass meadows. Rain catchments with drinkers, along with five earthen ponds and natural wallows scattered across the property, keep water on the ground through the dry months and hold wildlife on the ranch through the season. The Marquez / L-Bar Wildlife Management Area borders the ranch on three sides, north, east, and west. Bordering a managed WMA on three sides extends the ranch's functional habitat well beyond its own 922 acres; that ground carries none of the fencing, development, and access pressure that shrinks habitat elsewhere, and wildlife moves freely across the boundary onto the ranch. A private in-holding that is thoroughly surrounded by protected habitat is rare in New Mexico, and is a primary reason the ranch holds wildlife at the density it does. A 1,224 square foot log cabin sits on the northeast end of the property, positioned to keep the rest of the ranch undisturbed for wildlife. The cabin has two bedrooms, a loft, living area, kitchen, and bath. Built off-grid, it draws water from a cistern system and power from a solar system with propane backup, with propane also fueling the refrigerator, stove, and heat. Kiln-dried logs and an R-38 insulation factor make it a true four-season structure, not a fair-weather retreat. The views are equally distinctive. The Continental Divide extends to the west, the Jemez Mountains and distant Colorado peaks are visible to the north, the Sandia Mountains and Albuquerque lie to the east, and the Gila country stretches to the south. At night, the lights of Albuquerque are visible on the eastern horizon, creating a striking contrast between the ranch's high-country setting and its accessibility to the city. For the buyer looking for a working wildlife property with genuine elevation, real infrastructure, and a setting few properties in this state can match, the Bar JA Ranch stands apart.
