Since 1955, Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch has been recognized as one of the premier film locations in the western United States. Located in the scenic foothills of northern New Mexico, the ranch has served as the backdrop for major motion pictures, television series, independent films, commercials, music videos, photoshoots, and select industry events.

Spanning thousands of acres, Bonanza Creek offers eight distinct filming sets, including a historic Western Town with over 24 authentic structures, a tranquil cottonwood-lined pond, dramatic hillside rock formations, deep arroyos, and expansive 360-degree panoramic views. This wide range of production-ready terrain makes the ranch a highly versatile location for all types of film and TV productions.

The absence of nearby residential development allows for flexible scheduling and uninterrupted shoots, while the ranch’s proximity to Santa Fe and Albuquerque provides easy access for cast, crew, and production teams.

Bonanza Creek Ranch is a proud supporter of the New Mexico film industry, actively contributing to its growth. The property is fully eligible for the New Mexico Film Tax Credit incentive program, making it a financially strategic choice for productions of all sizes.
