This place most likely does not exist at all and it appears that this is a joke, a hoax, or a political screed. The author's history of edits include, at various times, describing the ranch as an "independent monarchy" and "AnarchoCapitalist".[1] The author (Tnkaiser) has inserted bogus census data in the article describing "median income for the household at the Ranch was none of your damn business". The author describes the motto of the ranch as "Leave Us Alone, If You Don't Want To Lose It", and then later as "None Of Your Damn Business".[2] The author describes a "long-term plan to … allow for the development of a non-Statist society." Some of these types of statements were inserted by the author and some by an anonymous IP, but when the original author edited after the IP, he did not delete the statements, so I can only conclude that the IP and the author are one and the same. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 23:17, 15 December 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

• Delete. Whatever the truth about this ranch is, there don't seem to be any reliable sources discussing it. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:23, 16 December 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Delete per Metropolitan90. It might not necessarily be a hoax in that some form of this land might exist in some shape or form, but it is certainly not notable in the slightest.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:51, 16 December 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • We have no evidence at all that the ranch exists. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 17:30, 16 December 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
• Delete, I found a Loopnet listing but it appears fabricated too. If this were a true ranch, you'd think it'd actually be verifiable in some way. The coordinates given in an old revision show only an empty field. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 23:52, 17 December 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]
