RFD-TV “The Ranch” is truly where the Old West, Southwest style, and Luxury intersect with superior access, privacy, and infrastructure to facilitate an event venue/private estate with demanding technological needs. Formerly known as the Imus Ranch, The Ranch is best described as a ranch compound capable of handling large events with a “pillow count” of 35+. Ideally set up for entertainment and events, The Ranch has been the set for numerous corporate events, commercial shoots, and western events not to mention its history under the Imus family benefiting children with cancer. The Ranch is being offered turnkey, ready to entertain and recreate this summer.

The Ranch with nearly 70,000 square feet of built improvements, western-themed sets, production-ready infrastructure, and a broadcast-quality media studio, is uniquely positioned as a turnkey filming location or satellite production base. Its cinematic terrain, secure and private access, and event-scale accommodations further support its appeal to studios, networks, and independent producers looking to capitalize on New Mexico’s lucrative incentives and expanding media ecosystem.

FILM & PRODUCTION INCENTIVES
New Mexico is widely recognized as one of the top film production destinations in the U.S., offering a 25% to 35% refundable tax credit on qualified in-state expenditures. Productions that utilize rural locations like San Miguel County, hire New Mexico residents, or film at certified facilities are eligible for additional bonuses. Additionally, just two hours south of the ranch, Netflix operates a major studio hub in Albuquerque—its first U.S. production facility—which has accelerated the state’s prominence in the industry and increased demand for nearby, high-quality filming locations.

LOCATION & ACREAGE
The Ranch is located in the rural community of Serafina, NM, about 15 miles southwest of Las Vegas, NM (private jet airport), and approximately 40 miles southeast of Santa Fe, NM (commercial airport).

The Ranch’s location near Interstate 25, with a private entrance off the frontage road, provides for easy privately maintained access. Easy private access along with superior seclusion is a rare combination on western ranches.

With a total of 3,425 acres including 2,535 deeded acres and 890 acres State of New Mexico lease land, the ranch has “room to roam” and “room to grow”. The diverse topography, rock outcroppings, land cover and vegetation also provide great seclusion as well as vistas. There are several miles of improved roads as well as numerous jeep and ATV trails on the ranch. A secluded fishing pond and shooting range are easily accessed from the ranch compound.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Historically significant is the fact that the Sante Fe Trail (circa 1821 - 1880) passes through the ranch.

The Santa Fe Trail was America’s first commercial highway. Traders established the trail—which connected Missouri to Santa Fe, New Mexico and covered some 900 miles of the Great Plains—in 1821. Before its demise due to the completion of the Santa Fe railroad, the Santa Fe Trail served as a thoroughfare for countless traders, pioneers and America’s military, and it played a crucial role in America’s westward expansion.

WATER RESOURCES & FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM
There are seven wells that serve The Ranch. Two wells supplement two separate stocked fishing ponds. There is also a 50,000-gallon water storage tank with a backup generator system that provides water for all of the improvements, including sprinklered fire suppression systems. Given the luxury quality of improvements, and the vast number of improved square footage, each improvement structure on the ranch is equipped with a highly improved fire suppression system that is routinely tested.
