Safety. Serenity. Spaciousness. Sufficiency. Big Sky Ranch offers these and more.
Big Sky Ranch is a pastoral paradise protected by its own hills on 3 sides. Gently sloping terrain opens to sunsets in the West. Big Sky Ranch is a world apart. Yet, it fronts a paved major highway providing reliable and speedy access to the Ranch.
Relax. You are among friends here. Being 80 acres in size with neighboring properties also having acreage, no one is breathing down your neck. Even animals at Big Sky are relaxed and at peace. Turkey, deer and rabbits calmly walk and stop for food within a few feet. Imagine that. You and your family could be a part of Nature without fear. Hawks, an occasional Bald Eagle, squirrels, owls, toads, frogs, bobcat, quail, duck, weasels, opossum, and skunk having been seen here.
Tranquility and peace are found here amongst the quietness of Nature. No need to visit a therapist – just walk outdoors. 200+ year old Engelman oak trees offer several park-like settings. Gentle breezes from the coast commonly waft across the Ranch. At 2,300 ft elevation, smog is something only Lowlanders know of. Seasonal Hatfield Creek bisects the parcel teeming with life such as tadpoles when water is flowing. Wildflowers bloom and butterflies fly.
A solar electricity generation system having 24 panels sits atop one of the buildings. A 2,000 liter diesel storage & delivery system makes refueling a breeze. Two 22 kW Generac back-up generators ensure electricity at all times.
Big Sky Ranch is self-sufficient with its private lined water well and two 45,000 gal water storage tanks. These, up on one of the hillsides, allow water to be delivered throughout most of the property through 4" water lines without using electricity or restricting flow. The Ranch’s sandy loam soils are excellent for growing most vegetables and crops. Supplement your food needs with your own healthy produce. The Ranch is ideally situated for viticulture and winemaking as it is located within the Ramona Valley Viticulture Area where 60+ vineyards & 30+ wineries are established producing award winning wines offering an ample variety of wines to taste close by.
