Webster’s Dictionary defines a ranch as a “large farm, especially in the Western U.S., for raising cattle, horses or sheep”.   This only scratches the surface.  Raising livestock and agricultural production are often primary concerns, but in today’s dynamic market, other factors like recreation and scenic amenities are becoming just as important when considering the value of property.  Technology now allows individuals to work in remote & isolates areas, so media moguls and institutional investors are entering the market and changing the game.  MORE TO COME.
