Big Creek Ranch encompasses 1571 acres in the breathtaking northern NM San Juan Mountains. Set against a backdrop of wildflower covered alpine meadows, ponderosa pine, spuce, gambel oak and aspen woodlands, the ranch is truly a recreational and big game hunter's paradise that could also be operated as a working cattle ranch. With ample water in two creeks, seepage springs and multiple dirt tanks, the wildlife is abundant and thriving. Elk, deer, bear, turkey, mountain lion & grouse are resident to the property. Five elevated and enclosed hunting blinds have been placed strategically around the property for optimum game harvest and the ranch received 10 elk tags for the 2024 season. The Rito Nutritas and Rito de la Agua Fria creeks are home to native brook trout and offer anglers almost 2 miles of creek fishing. Improvements on the property include the 3372 sq ft 5 bedroom/5 bath main home, 1712 sq ft 2 bedroom/2 bath bunk house, 1520 sq ft garage/toy room with heated shop area, additional 2000 sq ft 3 bedroom/2 bath modular home with attached garage, fenced yard and 50 x 50 heated shop building complete with a game wench and refrigerated unit.
