Mad Fox Riverside Ranch

The Mad Fox Ranch is a beautiful 160 acre property, tucked away in the mountains. This unique parcel has been homesteaded since the 1930’s and we were fortunate enough to call it our home a few years back. There are swimming holes, a pond, and a bridge to cross over to the walking trails on the other side. We are an off grid, farm that has veggie gardens, greenhouses, cute pigs and chickens. We offer farm fresh eggs from our free range hens to campers for purchase. We’ve decided that this is too beautiful a spot not to share, so we are now offering dry camping on various sites on the property. Wildlife abounds with bears, moose and deer which makes this a hunters paradise as well. Endless logging roads around to explore and find your new favourite berry picking spots. The Mad River meanders in the summer and rushes in the spring with the winters melt. In the heat of summer it still provides a refreshing dip after a hard day of farming or exploring. Come see why we love it here! Our closest neighbour is a seasonal cabin over 4 km away so it provides lots of privacy. Our sites are spaced out with trees in between them and right on the river.
