Approximately two miles of American Creek and over a mile and a half of Cieneguilla Creek water the ranch. They merge on the property to form the headwaters for Eagle Nest Lake, which is about two miles away. Summertime showers and irrigation on the creeks make this one of the most well-watered ranches in New Mexico. There are also several water wells that supply the improvements on the property.

The ranch is currently set up for a yearling operation with unbelievable opportunities for hunting as well. When fall arrives, so do the massive Wapiti. Elk herds come out of National Forest onto the private serenity of Monte Verde Ranch. There are Elk in every direction during the fall and winter; including trophy bulls and plenty of cows to fill the freezers. Bald and golden eagles can be observed on their daily flights up and down the creeks. In addition, there are wolves, mountain lions, black bear, mule deer, and turkey that are all in abundance.
