About This Lot
About a mile south of Colorado border, in Northern NM, lies 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 hosting numerous hunting groups throughout the fall. The ranch is so incredibly well managed that the New Mexico Department of Fish and Game awarded the TC Lodge 5 landowner elk tags and over-the-counter NM landowner deer tags for the 2025 season! Location 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. The Spring-fed Creek and Land 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. Hunting Lodging - Reliable & consistent seasonal income from outfitters booking during hunting season. TC Lodge is considered the premiere outfitters base camp for guiding on the numerous private ranches in the area, including RCCLA. Turn Key Operation - Fully renovated and furnished, all the way down to quality linens and towels, TC Lodge is ready for immediate rental or personal use, including local services for housecleaning, maintenance and caretaking. Recreation Hunting - The TC Lodge’s 5 landowner elk tags (3 either sex, 2 cow tags) are a result of the owner’s meticulous land management in combination with incredible trio of world renowned and managed ranch lands adjacent to, and nearby, the +/-70 acres of the TC LODGE. 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!
