Summary
Rancho Arriba is a small farm and elk hunting ranch in the Sangre de Cristo mountains of northern New Mexico. The farm lies at the edge of the Kit Carson National Forest, four miles from the Pecos Wilderness boundary and one half mile east of the village of Truchas. At 8400 feet elevation it affords a spectacular view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains to the east and the Jemez range to the west.
Rancho Arriba offers a rural tranquility and informal charm to those seeking a unique retreat. The hacienda is of traditional "Biblical brick" (adobe) construction with a colonial style courtyard (plaza). The guest wing has viga and latilla ceilings, handmade furniture, and a kiva fireplace.
I have recently gotten a grant for wildlife habitat improvement. This will last several years and include clearings for deer sanctuary, food plot plantings,erosion control and forest enhancement. I am especially interested in habitat for the grouse, turkey, deer, elk, fish and bear which are numerous as well as mountain lion which is much more elusive. We began in '98 by planting beaver to establish their presence on the stream.
