Quail Creek Ranch

Quail Creek Ranch is located in Grant County New Mexico in the beautiful mountains east of the Mimbres River. The surrounding area is little changed from the early years of the Old West. This still pristine landscape makes it easy for one to escape the modern world. Quail Creek Ranch is +/-1,124 acres consisting of varied topography including rolling hills, canyons, plateaus, and mountains. Noonday Canyon runs through the ranch. This canyon produces a seasonal stream and is a major tributary of the Mimbres River. It is said that in the days when Kingston and Pinos Altos were booming mining camps, people traveling between the two always tried to arrive at this canyon and its reliable water at noon, hence the name. This location is sought after for its mild, four-season climate. The elevation of the ranch varies between 5,973 and 6,600 feet. Vegetation consists of native grasses including side oats grama, and blue grama as major species. Canyons and hillsides are lined with mature pinon, juniper and oak. This ranch has the potential for many different uses including agricultural, equestrian, and/or hunting. It may also make a great investment property, as it has been surveyed into several parcels.
