Over the past year, significant upgrades have transformed the hunting setup, creating a legendary opportunity for the
serious elk hunter, and a true western big-game hunter's dream.Lobo de Amalia Lodge and Ranch, 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 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 3 MB Ranch King shooting towers and an MB Ranch King bow/ground blind. 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!
RECENT HUNTING ENHANCEMENTS: Three MB Ranch King shooting towers and an MB Ranch King bow/ground blind have been added to the property, elevating an already distinguished Western hunting retreat. Strategically positioned along key big-game travel corridors, these purpose-built installations complement the ranch's natural terrain and provide established vantage points for pursuing big game.
Originally built to host hunting parties for the RCCLA, the Lodge has been meticulously renovated and modernized while preserving its rich sporting heritage. A magnificent fireplace spanning more than 10 feet anchors the gathering space, while a handcrafted dining table comfortably seats 14.
Six bedrooms featuring 13 beds and three bathrooms can accommodate substantial hunting parties in comfort. The semi-commercial kitchen is suited to preparing memorable meals after a day afield, while the full-length front porch offers an inviting setting to recount the day's pursuits and enjoy the company of family and fellow sportsmen for generations to come.
