Yonderosa Wilderness Ranch

Are you looking for a remote hunting property with a large, comfortable cabin, abundant game, and plenty of hunting vouchers? The Yonderosa Wilderness Ranch offers a rare opportunity to own a very special ranch in northern New Mexico in a National Park-like setting.

Spanning 2,296± acres, this expansive property, bordering United States Forest Service (USFS) land, provides a private wilderness experience, accessible via 24± miles of USFS roads from paved US Highway 285. The ranch’s elevation ranges from 9,800 to 10,000 feet, contributing to a diverse landscape of aspens, ponderosa pines, spruce, and fir trees, interspersed with approximately 50% open meadows and 50% forested areas. The undulating topography creates varied terrain, supporting a rich environment for wildlife.

This property is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering significant hunting opportunities. In 2026, the ranch received 17 elk vouchers. In the past, the ranch has applied for and received additional vouchers for pronghorn antelope. Mule deer tags in this area have traditionally been available over-the-counter. Needless to say, the ranch is a prime hunting destination. There is fishing for all to enjoy. Multiple spring-fed ponds and two creeks hold an abundant population of Brook trout that respond aggressively to a well-placed grasshopper fly.

Central to Yonderosa Wilderness Ranch is a large, 3,300± square foot log-style cabin. The cabin operates entirely off-grid, powered by a new solar energy system, ensuring self-sufficiency and minimal environmental impact. This residence includes five bedrooms and four bathrooms in total, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious great room, and a kitchen currently finished. A wraparound deck provides extensive views of the surrounding landscape. Heating is provided by both wood and propane. Additionally, a small historic cabin stands on the property, presenting an opportunity for refurbishment.

The Yonderosa Wilderness Ranch represents a blend of remote tranquility and significant recreational appeal, ideal for those seeking a private retreat or a premier hunting property.
