Escape to this stunning 80-acre property, a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers! Nestled adjacent to the renowned El Malpais National Monument and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands, this exceptional parcel offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of the New Mexico wilderness. Use an elk tag from the eplus program (If qualifies in future) for yourself or as an income stream to help pay for the property.
Land
The landscape of El Malpais National Monument area is a striking blend of diverse ecosystems shaped by volcanic activity and the unique climate of New Mexico. This region showcases a variety of habitats, each supporting a rich tapestry of flora and fauna. **1. Lava Fields:** At the heart of El Malpais lies its distinctive lava fields formed by volcanic eruptions. These rugged terrains are characterized by basalt rock formations, lava tubes, and cinder cones. The harsh conditions, including rocky surfaces and minimal soil, limit plant growth, but specialized species such as lichens and certain hardy grasses have adapted to thrive in this environment. **2. Ponderosa Pine Forests:** Surrounding the lava fields, you'll find sprawling ponderosa pine forests that create a stark contrast to the barren landscape. These forests are home to towering pines, which provide shade and habitat for various wildlife. Species such as mule deer, elk, and an array of birds rely on this habitat for food and shelter. The forest understory often features shrubs, wildflowers, and grasses that flourish in the dappled sunlight. **3. Grasslands and Savannas:** Transitioning from the forests, the region features expansive grasslands and open savanna areas. These grasslands are essential for sustaining a diverse range of wildlife, including pronghorn antelope and numerous bird species. The rich variety of grasses and wildflowers create a vibrant ecosystem that supports pollinators and provides habitat for small mammals and ground-nesting birds. **4. Riparian Zones:** Along the edges of streams and arroyos, riparian zones offer a vital ecosystem with dense vegetation and abundant water sources. Cottonwood trees, Willows, and various shrubs create lush habitats that support diverse wildlife. These areas are crucial for many birds and mammals, making them perfect spots for wildlife viewing and birdwatching. **5. Canyons and Cliffs:** The monument also features dramatic canyons and sheer cliffs formed by erosion. These varied topographies contribute to microclimates within the ecosystem, supporting different plant and animal life. Birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, can often be seen soaring above these rugged areas, searching for their next meal.
Recreation
*Hunting Opportunities:** Unit 13 is known for its rich wildlife, making this property a dream for hunters. Enjoy opportunities to pursue elk, deer, and other game right from your own land.
**Recreational Activities:** Beyond hunting, the property serves as an ideal base for hiking, camping, and exploring the diverse terrain of El Malpais National Monument and nearby BLM lands.

History
The Ice Caves and El Malpais National Monument region has a rich history that weaves together natural wonder, Indigenous cultures, and geological significance. Here's an overview of the historical context surrounding these remarkable areas: Indigenous Heritage Long before European settlers arrived, the region was inhabited by various Indigenous peoples, including the Zuni, Navajo, and Apache tribes. These groups utilized the land for hunting, gathering, and as part of their cultural traditions. The Zuni people, for example, have a deep spiritual connection to the land, and many of the natural features are significant in their mythology and cosmology. The Ice Caves themselves were likely known to these tribes and may have been used for food preservation and other purposes. Geological Formation El Malpais, which means the badlands in Spanish, was formed by volcanic activity that began approximately 100,000 years ago. The lava flows from this activity shaped the landscape, creating a rugged terrain of lava fields, cinder cones, and the famous Ice Caves. The Ice Caves are formed by lava tubes underground channels created by flowing lava. When the lava cools and leaves these tubes empty, they can trap cold air, which results in the formation of ice inside, even during the warmest months. European Exploration and Settlement Spanish explorers and settlers arrived in the region in the 16th century, drawn by its resources and potential for agriculture. The harsh landscape was both a challenge and a source of intrigue for these early adventurers. The name El Malpais reflects the daunting nature of the terrain as experienced by these explorers. National Monument Designation In 1987, El Malpais was designated as a National Monument to preserve its unique geological features and cultural significance. The area encompasses around 114,000 acres of spectacular landscapes, including the Ice Caves, lava fields, and sandstone bluffs. The preservation effort aimed to protect the ecological and archaeological integrity of the region, allowing future generations to appreciate its natural beauty and historical significance.
Current Significance Today, the Ice Caves and El Malpais National Monument serve as a site for scientific research, education, and recreation. Visitors come to explore the fascinating lava tubes, hike the diverse trails, and learn about the area's geological and cultural history. The preservation of the region allows for ongoing opportunities to study climate, geology, and the impacts of human activity on the environment. With its rich tapestry of history and natural beauty, the Ice Caves and El Malpais National Monument continue to be a vital part of New Mexico's heritage, drawing visitors and researchers alike to discover the stories etched in its unique landscapes.

History
Established in 1876, Ramah was one of fifty locations in the New Mexico Territory settled, under the direction of Brigham Young, by Mormon pioneers and is one of only three that remain today. Ramah was originally settled for the purpose of missionary work to be carried out within the Zuni and Navajo communities. Many of the original stone houses are still standing and are a testament to the hard work and skill of Ramah's early founders. One such building has been restored and preserved as a museum to display the heritage of the valley's past.
Location
The property is located near Ramah and Pinehill in western New Mexico. The area offers of site seeing, national monuments, and hikes.
El Morro National Monument weaves a colorful tapestry of the history of New Mexico. Hundreds of petroglyphs bear witness to the lives of ancestral Puebloans. Other inscriptions mark the journeys of early American pioneers, western emigrants, soldiers and railroad surveyors. The richly diverse volcanic landscape of El Malpais National Monument offers solitude, recreation, and adventure.

people have been adapting to and living in this extraordinary terrain for generations. Come discover the land of fire and ice!
The Narrows, located 17 miles south of I-40 on NM 117, is named for the narrow corridor that developed when lava flowed close to the base of a five hundred foot sandstone mesa. Most of the lava observed is from McCarty's crater, which, at approximately 3,000 years old is the most recent lava flow in the area. Located in a collapsed lava tube, the perpetual Ice Cave's temperature never rises above 31F year round, with natural layers of ice that have been forming for over 3,400 years. The perpetual Ice Cave is a natural phenomenon made possible by a combination of physical factors forming a natural ice box; a 20 foot thick mass of ice accumulating in a well insulated cave of porous lava and shaped just right to trap cold air, continually generating new ice as rain water and snow melt seep down and freeze. The Ice Cave is a sacred place with a 1,200 year history of human interaction dating back to the Ancestral Puebloans (also known as the Anasazi) and continuing to this day as a spiritual and refreshingly cool, peaceful space.

Cibola County - 221/223 Five Gate Road, Pinehill, NM
On the market for the first time in 40 years! Tallahogan Ranch is a one-of-a-kind +/-305-acre property featuring a main house, guest house, and two traditional Navajo hogans. A rare year-round spring-fed pond attracts wildlife, while towering ponderosas, pion, and juniper offer excellent cover. Set in the high desert out where the golden eagles fly, this ranch offers rich history, exceptional privacy, and prime hunting.
Land
The +/-305 acres of Tallahogan Ranch are gently rolling with sporadic rock outcroppings and high-for-the-area tree cover. The foliage consists of a mix of pinon and juniper, with stands of mature ponderosa pines scattered throughout. The timber on the property is virgin; a few of the alligator juniper have bases more than 10 feet wide! There is a good mix of grassland to tree coverage, and the property is also fenced and cross-fenced, so cattle, sheep or horse grazing is possible.
There are multiple seasonal dirt tanks on the property which could easily be improved to hold water longer into the dry seasons. The current owner has the surface water rights, which is a relatively rare feature in the Zuni River Basin watershed. Perhaps the most important feature of the ranch is the year-round, spring- and well-fed pond just outside the front door of the main house. This historical pond is registered with the county and is one of the few year-round water holes in the area, and as such helps hold a large herd of elk in the local area. Local folklore has it that Billy the Kid once worked cattle as a ranch hand in this area, and this spring-fed, year-round pond was a common stopping place.
The property borders two small parcels of Navajo Nation land with larger sections of BLM and State Land bordering those, so the new owners will not have to worry about future encroachment on their privacy.
*Buyer to verify all listing information.
Improvements
This property includes two homes as well as two traditional Navajo hogans and multiple outbuildings.
The main house is a 2052 sqft, 3 BR/2BA Clayton Homes custom manufactured home built in 2011. This home has all the amenities, including an indoor hottub and sauna in a sunroom as well as an outdoor sauna on the deck, and a wood-fired outdoor pizza oven. A large kitchen/dining area provides plenty of cabinet space for dishes and food. There are two wood burning fireplaces and two living areas, a large master suite with ensuite bath, and forced air heating.
The smaller house is a 1056 sqft, 2 BR/2BA mobile home built in 1997 on a permanent foundation. This cozy home would make an excellent guest house or caretaker's home. With an attached, fully enclosed sunroom and a large outdoor deck, the home feels much larger than its size. There is a 10'x25 wooden storage shed with roll-up door and separate walk-in entrance next to the smaller house.
The hogans are simple circular shaped buildings that are the traditional homes of the Navajo culture. These hogans are structurally sound, and with a little elbow grease could be put into great shape and could make a unique income addition as rentals .
West of the main house is a horse corral with loafing shed and equipment storage area and another sheet metal and beam loafing shed in the southwest corner of the property.
Property is fully fenced and cross-fenced, and the current owner has been maintaining the fencing even in the absence of livestock on the property.
*Buyer to verify all information within listing details. Interior photos are coming soon!
Recreation
Tallahogan Ranch is located in GMU 12, which is renowned for its elk herd and mild terrain. Bulls here are known to get big and finding them isn't hard just look for water! With it's year-round pond, Tallahogan ranch is an elk magnet. This ranch has not been hunted in over 40 years, and animals use it as a sanctuary when hunting pressure in the nearby public lands picks up in the fall. By registering the ranch through the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish's Elk Private Land Usage System (ePLUS), the landowner may be able to obtain elk hunting tags**.
Lower densities of deer, turkey, antelope, and predators are also in the area, and provide OTC hunting opportunities for the ranch owner who registers the ranch through NMDGF. Simple improvements such as the addition of food plots, feeders, and revamping of dirt tanks could increase the huntability of an already impressively populated ranch!
Fishing is available in many locations throughout the local area, as are hiking and mountain biking.
Winter sports such as skiing and snowshoeing are available in less than 4 hours of drive time at Santa Fe Ski Area and Pajarito Mountain, and even Durango Mountain Resort can be reached in 4 hours 30 mins.
The El Morro and El Malpais National Monunments are both less than an hour from the ranch, and provide year-round hiking and exploration for visitors. El Morro National Monument is a certified dark sky location and both parks provide visitors with incredible views of the Milky Way on a clear night.
**Hayden Outdoors makes no guarantee that the new landowner will receive Landowner tags through the ePLUS program, but may assist in the application and/or provide recommendations of improvements to increase chances.
Agriculture
Tallahogan Ranch is fenced and cross-fenced, so with the year-round pond, multiple dirt tanks, and good grass cover, running a small number of sheep, cattle, or horses could help the new owner with agricultural status of the property.
Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources
Surface water rights are available on Tallahogan Ranch, a rarity in this area. 100% of water rights, and any mineral rights, if discovered to be owned, will be transferred with property upon sale.
