Description

Tallahogan Ranch is a unique piece of property with gently rolling hills, sporadic rock outcroppings and high-for-the-area tree cover. 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 main house is a 2052 sqft, 3 BR/2BA Clayton Homes custom manufactured home built in 2011. This home has an indoor hot tub and sauna in a sunroom as well as an outdoor sauna on the deck and a wood-fired outdoor pizza oven. There are two wood burning fireplaces and two living areas, a 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. *Buyer to verify all listing information.
