As of March 2026Welcome to The Animal Ranch-a rare opportunity to own a thriving 33.6-acre organic farmstead with a rich legacy. This incredible dual-parcel property (2.5 and 31.1 acres) combines sustainable country living, income potential, and unmatched scenic beauty.

The home includes 2 furnace units and A/C. A 400 Amp main electric service is all underground, no overhead wires. There are a total of 7 Sub-Panels, all in conduit! You will find no Romex on the property, not to mention all water supply is in copper, which far exceeds building codes! Outdoor living shines with well manicured landscaped grounds, an attached gazebo, deck, patio, and partially complete outdoor fireplace-perfect for entertaining under the stars. The farm highlights include a New Windmill to be completed to live off-grid with your own clean energy source. 25 Organic tillable acres currently in hay production for horses, and livestock. If becoming organically "Certified" is important, this process will be a breeze as no pesticides or herbicides have been used on the field in 30+ years. There are multiple outbuildings totaling approx. 17,500 Sq Ft of which 3 buildings have their own septic tank, and a 4th septic tank has been installed in preparation for a future building. The outbuildings include: Workshop (30x36): Heated, with the 7th bathroom on the farm (toilet and shower), 3rd laundry with wash tub, hot water outlets, concrete floors, and robust power for tools or equipment. Tool Shed w/ 1-Bedroom Apartment (32x50): Livable quarters plus large machinery storage. Pony Barn (60x63 with 16' ceilings): With 3 horse stalls and a tack room.

Nature lovers will be enchanted by wild-growing grapes, asparagus, and seasonal flowers, plus walking trails with benches shaded by mature trees and few mosquitoes making outdoor living on the farm a rare gift. The west-facing parcel boasts breathtaking panoramic views from a high elevation point, offering visibility of approximately 40 surrounding farms. Located in the Hinckley-Big Rock School District, known for its strong agricultural program and personalized student-teacher connections, this is a place to plant roots and grow legacies.
