When Abe and Patsy Chavez pioneered a masterpiece which was able to accommodate anglers with all they would need. Abe and Patsy moved to Navajo Dam & started their business before the dam was  built and dedicated in 1962.  They each have deep family roots in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado with family histories dating back several hundred years.  The young couple provided services to the dam construction workers and later to fishermen and sportsmen visiting the San Juan.  Once the dam was completed in 1962 the San Juan River became  one of the finest trout fishing resources in the country. Rainbow and Brown trout were stocked in the San Juan following the construction of the dam.  The low water temperatures, typically low 40’s near the dam, clear water and abundant trout food sources made the San Juan River into a fabulous fishery.   During the 1960’s it became clear that the San Juan would be a very special place  therefore, the State of New Mexico set aside about 3.5 miles of river immediately below the dam as “Quality Water”.  Today this is the Special Trout Water section in the NM Fishing Proclamation.As Abe’s grew, the needs of  sportsmen continued including a Motel, Grocery store, RV park, Fishing Guide services, Boat Storage, Restaurant and Lounge .  Their business prospered and became a popular family business with each of their children working in the fishing business.Their love and passion for people, family and fishing was evident in their hospitality and dedication. Abe’s has hosted world renown fishers and photographers from around the world. The rich history and  love that is a part of Abe’s Motel and Fly Shop will continue to grace and bless the hands of the new owner.Location It has been said that trout only live in beautiful places. The San Juan River that flows through the high desert of Northern New Mexico only offers credence to the quote. From its humble origin high on the snow-capped peaks of the San Juan Mountains of Colorado, its crystal clear waters tumble and cascade down remote canyons and rocky mountainsides, until it is gathered and harnessed in its impoundment of Navajo Lake, straddling the border of two great western states. The release from deep behind the high walls of the dam that hold these waters in restraint and issue forth— gin clear, highly oxygenated, and nutrient rich, provide a perfect habitat for the trout below. It is a place that fly fishermen dream about, when they dream about places to fish.​If it only offered beautiful, healthy fish that number in the thousands, then the San Juan would be enough to earn its accolades as one of the top destinations to fish in the U.S. But there are more; far more, reasons that make this river a Mecca for trout fishermen the world over. Its broad flats, interspersed with deep pools, runs, tailouts, and eddies, make it one of the most wade-friendly rivers in the West. The predictable and controlled consistent flows also create a tailwater fishery that is a pleasure to float by driftboat, without encountering anything beyond intermediate class waters, unlike many other well known western rivers.And then there is the scenery—miles of it. Picture gin clear water flowing between the bluffs of high mesas, dotted with pinon pine and juniper, changing in color as the sun makes its arc through a bluebird New Mexico sky. Picture the home of ospreys, eagles, and great blue herons along the banks of a river in the high desert, lined with giant cottonwoods and willows. Picture the home of mule deer, elk, river otters, beaver, coyotes, and mountain lions. Picture all of this; if you can, and when the sun begins to sink behind a spectacular horizon and the sky begins to fill with deep hues of reds, pinks, and yellows that turn the ochre buttes and bluffs into a remarkable natural light show, you will know why they call this river and its surroundings The Land of Enchantment.– Jay Walden

Quemado, New Mexico, 87829

Cienega Amarilla Ranch is ±400 acres in western New Mexico, defined by rare year‑round water: the Cienega Amarilla runs the length of the property, shaded by mature trees and forming a natural wildlife corridor. A comfortable, solar‑powered ranch house and corrals anchor the headquarters. In GMU 12 and currently receiving a landowner elk tag through EPLUS, this is a secluded, capable gentleman’s ranch.Land Cienega Amarilla Ranch offers ±400-acres with a blend of riparian bottomland and upland high desert. The Cienega Amarilla flows year-round through the entire length of the property, lined with mature cottonwoods and willows that create rare, lush habitat in this part of New Mexico. Native grasses flourish along the cienega and provide excellent forage for light livestock or big game use. Beyond the creek, the land rises into piñon-juniper hillsides with scattered open benches, sandstone bluffs, and expansive views across the valley.Historically used for cattle ranching, the property remains well suited for use as a gentleman’s ranch—capable of supporting a few head of cattle or horses while maintaining its strong wildlife habitat. The combination of perennial water, healthy cover, and forage makes the ranch a natural draw for elk, deer, and other game throughout the year.Improvements The ranch headquarters centers on a comfortable, rustic home set just west of the Cienega Amarilla. Interior features include a large living area with a wood-burning stove, log-accent walls, and a covered porch that captures sunset views as the cliffs above the cienega light up. Electricity is provided by a solar array with battery storage and inverter. There is no well; domestic water is pulled directly from the Cienega Amarilla via on-site pumping. Propane service supports heating and appliances.The yard around the home includes fruit trees, shade trees, and raised garden beds, along with stone and paver patios that frame the headquarters area. A dedicated storage and utility room supports extended off-grid use.Outbuildings include a shop/garage with ample storage and workspace, plus additional ranch structures for tools and supplies.

The year-round water and riparian corridor of the Cienega Amarilla create dependable habitat that consistently attracts wildlife.The ranch is currently enrolled in the EPLUS program as part of a larger cooperative of ranches, which provides a landowner elk authorization. With the features of this ranch, including the habitat created by the year-round cienega, future owners may have the opportunity to apply for habitat improvement incentive tags, thereby increasing the total number of tags*.  Hunting for other species, including deer, pronghorn, and bear, is available to landowners through over-the-counter tags, giving owners a wide spectrum of hunting opportunities on the property.Beyond hunting, the ranch’s secluded setting offers quiet privacy for horseback riding, hiking, and exploring the sandstone bluffs and historic settlement remnants. Nearby public lands and national forests across western New Mexico and eastern Arizona expand the scope for additional recreation.*Always check the latest regulations with NMDGF.Agriculture Cienega Amarilla Ranch was historically a cattle ranch, supported by the perennial water of the Cienega Amarilla and the grass it produces along its corridor. While the property’s ±400 acres are not suited to large-scale operations, it offers strong potential as a gentleman’s ranch—ideal for running a small herd of cattle or a few horses. The cienega provides consistent forage and water, a rare advantage in this part of New Mexico.Water/Mineral Rights & Natural Resources The defining resource of the ranch is the Cienega Amarilla—a perennial, spring-fed wetland that runs the full ±400-acre length of the property. Ciénegas are unique to the Southwest: permanently saturated wetlands in an otherwise arid landscape. Once common across the region, many have been lost to overgrazing and groundwater diversion, making this intact ciénega especially rare.These wetlands are sustained by groundwater discharge and patterns of winter precipitation, creating organic-rich soils and supporting a mosaic of vegetation. Along the Cienega Amarilla, sedges and rushes thrive in the saturated soils, while willows and cottonwoods line the corridor and provide shade and shelter. This continuous green ribbon stands in sharp contrast to the surrounding high desert.Region & Climate Set in Catron County near the Arizona line at roughly 6,800 feet, the ranch sits in New Mexico’s high-desert plateau. Summers are hot, with daytime highs commonly in the 90s, often followed by late-summer monsoon storms. Spring and fall are cooler transition seasons. Winters are cold with periodic snow. Annual precipitation is light, and the area is known for abundant clear, sunny days.Location The ranch is accessed by county-maintained roads, offering a secluded setting near the New Mexico–Arizona line. While Quemado is the nearest New Mexico community, the most practical full-service base is St. Johns, Arizona, less than an hour to the west. Springerville and Eagar are also within easy reach for supplies and services, with Show Low serving as the closest larger hub.Approximate drive times:• St. Johns, AZ – 45–60 minutes• Springerville/Eagar, AZ – about 1–1¼ hours• Show Low, AZ – about 2 hours• Albuquerque, NM – 2¾–3 hours• Phoenix, AZ – 5½ hours• Tucson, AZ – 5½–6 hours

The property is served by five registered wells that provide reliable water for both domestic and livestock use. A solar-powered 5,000-gallon storage tank supplies the main home and headquarters, while the broader ranch is serviced directly by the wells and tire drinkers. Additional dirt tanks capture seasonal runoff, enhancing reliability for both livestock and wildlife. This extensive water infrastructure is a key strength in a region where dependable supply can be limited. All mineral rights, if any are owned, will convey to the new owner.Region & Climate The ranch’s proximity to surrounding peaks brings greater precipitation than properties farther north, supporting healthy native grasses and reliable forage. Summers are warm with cool evenings, while winters bring crisp days and periodic snow that helps recharge water and sustain vegetation.
