Property for Sale

What an opportunity: 750 acres (300ha) of our beautiful Big Bear Ranch are for sale!
It was a hard decision for us, because our dream was to create a sustainable managed sanctuary for plants and all other living creatures. We believe in the bio-dynamic concept  of a farm as a living being and that the farm ideally supports itself without the need for major inputs from outside (like feed or fuel).
However, we realize more and more this is also possible on a smaller area and we have not enough man power to realize this on such a vast area we have now.
The 2 lots for sale (DL 5276 with 315 acres/126 ha and DL 5277 with 435 acres/174 ha) have 385 acres/154 ha in hay land and 365 acres/ 146 ha in forest or shelterbelts. This land base is sufficient to provide a sustainable income for a farming family.
The buyer can also use a grazing license for 221 head on the adjacent crown land in the summer month. This gives one the possibility to make hay on the deeded land to feed his herd in winter.
We choose not to sell this land as 8 ranchettes with roughly 100acres/40ha each, because we believe in the importance of locally produced food.  8 houses and the necessary infrastructure would have made that much more difficult or in some areas even impossible. We know from the comments of many visitors to our place, that the demand for gorgeous building sites like this land with its wide vistas and serenity could provide, is far bigger than we have thought.
Agricultural uses for this certified organic property reach form the extensive custom grazing we do now to more intensive uses like pasture raising pigs or poultry, seed potatoes, seasonal dairy with cheese or ice cream and the forest opportunities.
Recreational uses for outdoor enthusiasts are trail riding and wagon tours, wildlife and nature photography, hunting and fishing in countless lakes nearby.
The adjacent crown land offers good trails without any traffic.
We offer also the possibility to manage your land for you, if you want to create just a get away to relax in absolute silence.
