Welcome Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch



If you've been working in film in New Mexico for more than, say, a day, you've probably heard about the famous Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch. Located just 8 miles south of Santa Fe, Bonanza Creek is one of the premeire locations in the New Mexico film industry. Bonanza is a working cattle ranch with old west standing sets that have hosted productions from National Geographic photo workshops to major motion pictures, including the Lone Ranger (a long time ago), and the upcoming Ed Harris film, Appaloosa (starring Ed Harris, Renee Zelwegger, Jeremy Irons, and Viggo Mortensen), and even the currently filming Sex and Lies in Las Vegas, starring Mena Suvari and Matthew Modine. It was also the setting for the reality show Kid Nation

The several thousand acre ranch offers many different types of landscapes -- open pasture, dry riverbeds, a pond, volcanic cones, and several standing sets, including a full old west town, a fort, a church, an old west house, a saloon, barns, windmills. . . Its amazing!
