  Description

  We are on a 4000 acre ranch with many buildings. We are starting to build a “private community” of like minded people. We are completely off grid, but do have starlink satellite for wifi. We are new to work away, but not to hosting. We love music (both listening and playing/singing), we are in the process of making a “family rec room/bar” in our converted barn which also sports a pool table and a commercial kitchen. We are right on the Nechako River an hour south of Vanderhoof. At the moment we have 5 dogs and 4 outdoor cats. We are getting chickens and other animals this spring.
