Staying at the Ranch
STAYING AT THE RANCH
Rancho Grande is home to a special lifelong vision to bring the forest to people and allow them to create wonderful lifetimes memories of the time they spent away from home. In 2015, our family purchased the ranch. We had no idea what we purchased. We were hoping to build a competitive youth baseball location and thought the secluded spot with an abundance of flat cleared land was perfect. We thought we would be up and running by the summer of 2016 giving us an ample few month to get approvals and necessary fields and lodges built.
And the Rancho Grande story ends right there and begins again in that crazy moment the professionals we hired, the ones that took a year and did every study imaginable under the sun, came back and told us that we were a few feet away from smooth sailing because the ranch is 1.1 miles from route 33, the road that brings you here, and developments over 1 mile from the road require “alternate plans”. In other words, fuhgeddaboudit.
