Mortenson Ranch · Santa Fe, New Mexico
The Ranch Is Yours.
A living Western ranch available for events, celebrations, film productions, and creative projects. Plenty of space. One place.
You're on the Mortenson Ranch page. The Eaves Movie Ranch is a separate property — and both are bookable, either independently or together.
Celebrations & Gatherings
A Setting That Does the Work for You.
The history is already there. The landscape is already extraordinary. The architecture does not need decoration. You bring the people — the ranch provides everything else.

Boarding & Stables
From famous movie horses to yours.
Clint started boarding horses the moment he took over the ranch. The stables have been working ever since.
Some of the most recognizable horses in Western film have lived in these stalls between productions — and a few of them stayed.
We board horses and movie set animals of every kind. Long-term, short-term, between shoots, or just because. If you have an animal that needs a home, we would love to meet.
Film, Photo & Brand
A Ranch Rich in Story, Set in the Southwest.
The terrain has not changed. The set is intact. The history is still here — and it is available to book.
The Ranch Was Built for This
This place was shaped over years by hand, use, and vision. The buildings, props, working spaces, and open land all serve a purpose. It feels real because it is real, built for horses, film crews, gatherings, and the kind of moments that can’t be staged.
Plenty of Untouched Terrain
Open rangeland, rock formations, and the dramatic New Mexico sky. Every direction offers a shot, from open land to distant mountains. Location scouts consistently call this one of the most versatile ranches in the Southwest.
A Curated Western Landscape
From the courtyard to the barns, from old wood walls to open New Mexico sky, the ranch gives you options in every direction. It’s layered with texture, history, and usable spaces that work for photography, productions, brand shoots, weddings, and private events.
An Owner Who Understands Productions
Clint Mortenson has been hosting crews since the 2000s. He knows what productions need — early access, crew staging, flexibility, and a host who stays out of the way when it counts.
