Two hundred years ago the US Population was approx. 5 Million, and 70% were farmers and ranchers. A century ago, the US Population was approx. 105 Million, and 27% were farmers or ranchers. Today, the US Population is approx. 325 Million and less than 2% of our population live on a farm or ranch. We’ve made a lot of technological advances and progress over the past two centuries, and in that process, our way of life has changed. For most, the simple pleasures of life enjoyed by our grand-parents and great-grandparents has been lost.
The American Dream as we know it today, is pretty much relegated to owning a home. But the Original American Dream was LAND! That’s what motivated the push westward and the famous saying “Go West Young Man!”
Sages Mark Twain and Will Rogers once said “Buy Land; they ain’t makin any more of it!”. That catchy statement has proved to be wise and insightful wisdom over the past century and a half. But never has it been so acute. Populations and cities grow, urban densities increase and our society continues an at ever increasing and frenzied pace. Demands and pressures increase while lot sizes and living quarters decrease. For most, the noises and distractions are encroaching into our personal space, and the idea of peaceful solitude and the freedom of wide open spaces where life is simple and enjoyable are just a theory, a scene from an old western, or perhaps a dream. Old West Ranch offers the solution!
Old West Ranch offers individuals and families the opportunity
to have the best of both American Dreams!

In addition to these private ranches, Old West Ranch was developed incorporating a common trail around the perimeter of the community.
