140-Acre Tracts | Catron County, New Mexico
Starting at $89,500 to $100,000 Seller Financing Available
Set in the Western New Mexico Highlands, these exceptional 140-acre tracts are part of the historic Kohlase family ranch and are now available for private ownership. Located within Antelope Meadows Ranch, three individual parcels—Tracts #8, #13, and #16—are offered, each distinct in character, topography, and views.
The landscape is classic high-country New Mexico: dense evergreen stands, rolling meadowlands, wooded hilltops, open grasslands, and striking rock formations. Elevations range from approximately 6,000 to 6,200 feet, creating a cool, clear climate ideal for grazing, recreation, and self-sufficient living. Native grasses include blue and black grama, galleta, muhly, and needle grass, all thriving in soft sandy loam soils well-suited for gardens, orchards, and pasture.
The climate is highly desirable, with mild winters averaging less than 19 inches of snow annually and approximately 10 inches of rainfall per year. Summers are warm and sunny, moderated by seasonal monsoon rains from July through September. Daytime summer temperatures typically range from the 80s to low 90s, with cool evenings in the 50s and 60s. Winter days are generally sunny, with daytime highs in the 45–55 degree range and nighttime lows from the low 20s to mid-30s.
This region of western New Mexico is well known for abundant wildlife, including free-roaming herds of elk, deer, and antelope. The ranch is located in Catron County, approximately 20 miles east of St. Johns, Arizona, with access via Salt Lake Road, a quiet, county-maintained gravel road suitable for all types of vehicles.
The property is zoned recreational, residential, and agricultural, allowing a wide range of uses. There are no deed restrictions. Home construction, camping, and RV use are permitted at the owner’s discretion. Commercial and industrial uses are excluded, preserving the quiet, rural character of the area.
Seller financing is available, making these large-acreage tracts accessible for buyers seeking space, privacy, and long-term land ownership in the New Mexico high country.
