About a mile south of Colorado border, in Northern NM, is the incredible and extremely unique +/-70 acre historic, turnkey, 6B/3B lodge that has been completely renovated, provides income via short term rentals with 5-star ratings and hosts numerous hunting groups throughout the fall. The ranch is so incredibly well managed that the NM Dept. of Fish & Game awarded the ranch 5 landowner elk tags and over-the-counter landowner deer tags for 2025! The TC Lodge, located in Taos County, New Mexico dovetails into and backs up to the +/-80,000 acre Rio Castillo Cooperative Livestock Association (RCCLA) that was established in 1942 pledging “to continually promote the proper and thorough management of deer, elk and other wildlife and their habitat”. Located in GMU 55, the +/-80,000 acre RCCLA is part of a trio of jewels that includes Vermejo Park and Valle Vidal. The ranch is 2 hours 45 minutes to Colorado Springs, 115 miles to Santa Fe, 55 miles to Taos and 38 miles to Red River.  Tres Cuerdas Lodge (Three Cords Lodge) - Originally built for the purpose of hosting the hunting parties for the RCCLA, the Lodge and +/-70 acres were purchased by a Colorado physician less than a decade ago who meticulously renovated, remodeled and modernized the +/-3800 sq. ft.TC Lodge into the legacy of history that it is today. John Chisum’s front porch has nothing on the TC Lodge, whose full length front porch offers today’s family and friends recreational memories for generations to come! The fireplace, at least 10 ft. wide, is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, and the handmade table can seat 14 comfortably. The ranch has 6-bedrooms with (13 beds) and 3-bathrooms. A semi-commercial kitchen has provided incredible meals for too many to count. Complementing the headquarters is a loafing shed, metal building and big game cleaning rack with winches. Just above the Lodge is a spring-fed creek that runs year-round, supplies the lodge and nourishes the amazing 3/4 mile stand of aspens across the ranch. Hidden on the other side of the creek is your very own +/-40 acre food plot of native grasses complete with a custom shooting tower. Bordered on 3 sides by the +/- 80,000 acres of the RCCLA, it’s beyond private and creates your very own sanctuary within a ranch!  Rental Income and Cash Flow Potential - TC Lodge’s original purpose was to house the RCCLA guests for fishing and hunting excursions and it is still utilized for that purpose as well. In addition, there are several income sources: Vacation Rental - Successful Short Term Rental on VRBO (#2280552) and airbnb with strong 5-star guest reviews and peak season bookings for families, retreats, and hunting groups.  Group Retreats & Events - Popular for family reunions, corporate retreats, weddings and wellness events with space for large gatherings and modern amenities.

Not sure how one compares neighbors such as the +/-80,000 acres of the Rio Costello Park, the +/-101,000 acres of Valle Vidal and the +/-558,000 acres of the Vermejo Park Ranch, but needless to say, TC Lodge is in very good company!  Bull elk to 300+ annually, landowner mule deer tags over-the-counter (150-185), bear, turkey and grouse.  Call for additional information.
