Price reduced! The Pitchfork Ranch transports you to a simpler time, where solitude and unspoiled beauty define the landscape. Located 30 miles south of Silver City, New Mexico, rugged mountains give way to the dramatic Chihuahuan Desert, and nine miles of the Burro Cienaga flow through the heart of the ranch, providing a rare and critical water source. Elevations range from 5150 to 5650. Spanning 11,393 acres, including 5,160 deeded acres, 3,597 BLM lease acres, and 2,626 NM State lease acres, the ranch is a hub for wildlife and habitat conservation, and is protected by a Conservation Easement.
The Pitchfork Ranch's reach of the Burro Cienaga is the only cienaga being restored on private property in New Mexico. Cienagas are shallow, slow-moving, marsh-like water unique to the American Southwest. With 95 % of cienaga habitat lost, Burro Cienaga is an important refuge for wildlife, including at-risk species such as the Chiricahua leopard frog and Gila Topminnow. Recent scientific evidence indicates cienagas have substantial carbon sequestration, 5 times more than forests and 500 times more than oceans. The Cole Family has invested over a million dollars in the restoration of Burro Cienaga and surrounds using a combination of private and public funding. After two decades of habitat restoration, this land is now returning to its pre-settlement condition.
The ecotone created by the cienaga and the Chihuahuan desert makes for an incredibly rich biodiversity. Mule deer, foxes, coyotes, mountain lions, javelina, and Gambel's quail are common here. Elk have become frequent visitors in recent years. Bald and Golden eagles enjoy the solitude. A comical troop of Coatis sometimes gathers near the headquarters. Old West charm, beauty, wildlife, and conservation are central to this property.

Now available, an affordable lot in the Hachita community in southwestern New Mexico. This is a secluded lot in the southwestern part of the subdivision. Power is available across the street. The roads are well maintained 2WD roads that lead to the property.
Hachita, NM
This small community is a hub for the ranches in the area. While the population has declined in recent decades, Hachita still shows some signs of life, as it retains a post office, a convenience store/gas station, and a handful of residents. At the original settlement of Old Hachita, visitors can still find an old headframe and crumbling adobe buildings. Hachita is located on New Mexico Highway 9, about 44 miles west of Columbus. New Mexico State Highway 81 heads north 30 miles to Interstate 10 and south toward Antelope Wells, a U.S. Customs border crossing on the U.S./Mexican border. This is a great place for a slower pace of life in a small community, but not located too far from larger cities.
