Ideally situated between the cool high country of northern New Mexico and the rich cultural center of Santa Fe, the well-watered 7 Mares Ranch is a remarkable big game hunting ranch with the bonus of a working cattle operation. With over 3600 acres (3463 deeded) at an average elevation of 7200 feet, the ranch is high enough to escape hot summers, but low enough to produce strong hay crops and healthy herds of cattle. Most significantly, over four miles of a year-round stream with substantial water rights, Nutrias Creek, keep 7 Mares Ranch appealing to an abundance of wildlife, including trophy elk and mule deer.
