Iconic New Mexico Film Location

Located within a stone's throw of Santa Fe, the Cerro Pelon Movie Ranch is one of the most iconic film locations for western movies in New Mexico. The set is available for the exclusive use of movie and television productions. Many notable films including Silverado, Lonesome Dove, 3:10 to Yuma, The Missing, All the Pretty Horses, Cowboys and Aliens, Wild Wild West, and Thor, among others, have been filmed here.

Convenient Location with Breathtaking Backdrops

The Cerro Pelon Movie Ranch is nestled in the Galisteo Basin, twenty-four miles south and east of Santa Fe, and just over a mile from the village of Galisteo, in Santa Fe County. The western movie set has views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Sandia Mountains, Jemez Mountains, and the Ortiz Mountains. The property is distinguished by lush savanna grasslands, dramatic topography and a rich cultural history. It is part of a cluster of ranches in the area that collectively are considered the most popular western filming location in New Mexico.

Famed History and Unique Resources

The Ranch has been used as a western movie location since 1970, but it became a famous movie location in 1984 when a new western town was built as the primary setting for Lawrence Kasdan's Silverado. This iconic western movie town has been expanded and updated over the years. The buildings are more than street facades and include usable structures with working interiors for indoor filming. Notable highlights include a church, saloon, bank, cantina, sheriff's office, jail, barn, corrals, train station and approximately 500 yards of useable railroad track. Everything you need from set to scenery is right here within convenient access to Santa Fe and Albuquerque
