RISN Homestead’s ranch will serve as the heart of our mission — a sacred space for restoration, faith, education, and community healing. Whether we restore an existing ranch or build from the ground up, the goal remains the same: create a self-sustaining sanctuary where people can reconnect to God, nature, and purpose.

Option 1: Restoring an Existing Ranch
Our ideal path is to acquire and revive an existing ranch, such as Rincon Creek Ranch or a similar property within the Vail/Tucson area. This option allows for a faster launch of programs and immediate community use while reducing environmental impact through adaptive reuse. The existing structures can host retreats, equine therapy, workshops, and farm-to-table gatherings almost immediately.
Goal Funding: $3 million
(includes purchase, renovation, utility setup, and program buildout).

Option 2: Building from the Ground Up
If restoration is not viable, RISN Homestead will establish a brand-new ranch designed for long-term sustainability and expansion. This model includes cabins for guests, a hydroponic greenhouse, therapeutic barn, amphitheater, holistic wellness center, and infrastructure for animals, crops, and education spaces. The design will follow natural cooling and water conservation principles for a fully off-grid operation.
Goal Funding: $2.4 million
(includes land purchase, infrastructure, water systems, barn, cabins, greenhouse, amphitheater, and power solutions).
Both routes lead to the same destination — a ranch that restores people’s health, faith, and independence while cultivating purpose through hands-on work with animals, gardens, and community.
