Some ranches offer productive grazing. Others provide outstanding hunting. A select few combine breathtaking scenery, abundant water, recreational opportunities, and agricultural value into one remarkable property. Six Mile Creek Ranch is one of those rare places.
Located in the spectacular Moreno Valley near Eagle Nest, New Mexico, Six Mile Creek Ranch encompasses approximately 1,795 acres of mountain meadows, timbered hillsides, flowing creeks, and productive pastureland. Whether you're looking for a working cattle ranch, an outdoor recreation property, or a private mountain retreat, this exceptional ranch offers a lifestyle that's difficult to replicate anywhere in the Southwest.

Location is one of Six Mile Creek Ranch's greatest assets.
Bordering Eagle Nest Lake State Park, the ranch places you in the center of one of New Mexico's most sought-after outdoor destinations.

Water That Sets This Ranch Apart
In the West, water is one of the most valuable resources a property can possess, and Six Mile Creek Ranch offers an abundance of it.
The ranch features more than two miles of Six Mile Creek frontage, creating year-round water for livestock and wildlife while adding incredible scenic beauty throughout the property.
Additional water resources include:
Approximately 495 acre-feet of irrigation rights
Three stocked trout ponds
Multiple irrigated meadows
These water features not only enhance agricultural productivity but also create exceptional opportunities for fishing, wildlife viewing, and peaceful enjoyment of the landscape.
Built for Ranching and Recreation
Six Mile Creek Ranch has long served as a productive cattle operation, historically supporting approximately 250 to 350 yearlings during the summer grazing season, depending on available moisture and irrigation.
The ranch offers a diverse landscape that includes:
Open mountain meadows
Forested hillsides
Creek-bottom habitat
Irrigated pasture
Scenic ponds
Whether your vision includes continuing livestock operations, building an equestrian property, or creating a family retreat, the ranch provides remarkable flexibility.

Comfortable Improvements with Room to Grow
The existing improvements offer both comfort and functionality.
The ranch includes a spacious two-bedroom, two-bath ranch home, partially remodeled in 2023, providing a comfortable base for year-round living or seasonal use.
Additional improvements include:
Large three-car garage
Equipment storage
Working cattle pens
Numerous potential building sites for a custom home, guest lodge, or barndominium
The property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy the ranch immediately while leaving room to create your own vision for the future.
Outstanding Hunting Opportunities
Beyond its beauty and agricultural value, Six Mile Creek Ranch is an outstanding wildlife property. Healthy populations of elk, mule deer, turkey, black bear, and mountain lion call the ranch home, making it equally attractive for sportsmen and wildlife enthusiasts. The ranch currently receives 21 Either-Sex elk permits, valid from September through December, while deer, turkey, bear, and mountain lion hunting opportunities are available over the counter under current New Mexico regulations. For many buyers, this combination of productive ranchland and exceptional hunting opportunities is exactly what makes New Mexico so special.
A Ranch Designed for Every Season
One of the greatest advantages of Six Mile Creek Ranch is its year-round appeal.
Spring brings lush green meadows and flowing creeks. Summer offers productive grazing, trout fishing, and cool mountain evenings. Fall transforms the landscape with brilliant colors while elk bugle throughout the valley. Winter places you just minutes from some of New Mexico's finest skiing and snowboarding.
Very few properties offer this level of seasonal diversity while maintaining the privacy and space that ranch ownership provides.

With abundant water resources, productive agricultural land, exceptional hunting, convenient access to premier mountain recreation, and nearly 1,800 acres of breathtaking landscape, this property offers a lifestyle few places can match.
