This Fabulous Ranch Stages Big Comeback

Vermejo ranch in northern New Mexico spanning two states and four counties is being rebuilt into a premier hunting and fishing retreat. Fort Worth oilman W. J. Gourley bought it in 1952 for about 11 million dollars. founder W. H. Bartlett created the property in 1902 at a cost of 40 million. The estate features three stone mansions, guest houses, a hospital, schools, and extensive irrigation, with 16,000 head of cattle and a coal mine. Hunter fees cover 10 days for elk and deer with a 300 dollar ranch permit, plus lodging or American-plan meals. fishing access costs 15 dollars daily for 50 miles of streams and 23 lakes. The vast property spans Taos and Colfax counties in New Mexico and into Colorado, with 60 employees and 5,000 irrigated acres.
