The sprawling southwest style ranch house has 5 bedrooms and 6 baths. It has a stucco exterior and metal roof. The road into headquarters meanders to the house, barn, and pens. Beyond the main house is a separate 3-bedroom 2-bath double wide manufactured home currently occupied by the foreman. In addition, there is a bunk house / apartment next to the main house. The ranch is watered by five water wells and a water right to a spring located on the neighboring National Forest which feeds a pipeline system.
The Sawmill Canyon Ranch is classified in a secondary elk management region by the NM Game & Fish Dept. allowing for flexibility in harvest on the ranch. The current owner has hunted the ranch very selectively in past years. Hunting in this region in New Mexico does provide additional income to ranchers. The elk hunting is allowed on a primitive basis meaning archery and muzzleloader are acceptable. Mule Deer may be harvested with rifle, muzzleloader, and archery.
