Big Creek Ranch in Tierra Amarilla, New Mexico
Located 9.5 miles east of the small ranching town of Tierra Amarilla in Rio Arriba County of Northern NM, Big Creek Ranch consists of 1571 acres of breathtaking land in the San Juan Mountains. Set against a backdrop of wildflower covered alpine meadows, ponderosa pine, spruce, gambel oak and aspen woodlands, the Big Creek Ranch is truly a recreational and big game hunter’s paradise that could also be operated as a working cattle ranch.
Big Creek Ranch features two high mountain creeks – the Rito Nutritas (approx 1 mile) and the Rito de la Agua Fria (approx 3/4 mile). Native brook trout inhabit these creeks and are a popular game fish for fly fisherman. The ranch is fenced and cross-fenced into two cattle pastures with barbed wire and has the natural resources to run a cow/calf operation of between 150-250 head. Located in close proximity, the Carson National Forest is one of five national forests in NM and offers additional recreational opportunities to the outdoor enthusiast.
Big Game Hunting
Big Creek Ranch offers the sportsman an abundance of hunting opportunities, including elk, deer, bear, turkey, mountain lion, grouse and more. The property has been privately and thoughtfully managed for the personal use of the owner and has not been leased by outfitters for hunting in the past. Five elevated and enclosed hunting blinds are strategically placed around the property for optimum harvest opportunities. Several dirt stock tanks, seepage springs and the creeks provide the water necessary for livestock and wild game. New Mexico Game and Fish issued 10 Elk permits for the 2024 season.
