A Private Family Ranch With A Vision For The Future
While the Home Ranch is now operating as a private family ranch and CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC, we understand that the story of this legendary ranch is of interest to former guests and residents of the Elk River Valley. Currently, the family of Scott and Janet McFarlane have reconnected to their Colorado roots with the recent purchase of the historic Home Ranch property. In 2019, the Seattle residents bought the ranch from the Steve and Ann Stranahan family and are currently in the process of reimagining and renovating the property. The new owners are undertaking the next chapter of the Home Ranch story with a deep respect for its historic legacy and a hopeful and expansive vision for its future.
