Great Western Ranch
NEW MEXICO
O
ne of the most iconic properties to come to market in the
last decade, the Great Western is a world unto itself: 53
miles east to west and 26 miles north to south. All told,
the Great Western encompasses 176,805 deeded acres and 115,974
acres of state and federal leases, a total of 292,779 acres. That's more
than one-third the size of Rhode Island.
Says Listing Broker Jeff Buerger of Hall and Hall, "The value of this
particular ranch is directly tied to its rarity. Great Western Ranch is
multi-dimensional in nature. It possesses and/or offers a viable live-
stock operation, significant hunting income, and sustainable wildlife
habitat. The ranch is extremely diverse. Ranches like this simply don't
come around that often. That's one of the reasons it sold within eight
months of being brought to market."

Fifty large grazing pastures
and numerous smaller traps
and pastures enable the
Great Western to carry more
than 3,000 head.
