Luxury Angus Ranch Estate • Pool & HotTub • Private 50-Acre Retreat Near Hershey
Welcome to your private escape just minutes from Hershey—set on 50 scenic acres, this luxury Angus ranch estate offers a rare blend of space, comfort, history, and convenience that you won’t find anywhere else in the area. This is a family-owned and personally managed property, thoughtfully restored and cared for by Candice, myself and our family. This isn’t a corporate rental or a mass-produced rental project—it’s a home we brought back to life with purpose, pride, and attention to detail. The farmhouse dates back to the early 1800s, but the home has been completely remodeled in 2026 for today’s guests. Nearly everything has been newly renovated, replaced, or upgraded, while select historic details were intentionally preserved to keep the character and soul of the original home. The result is a rare balance: the warmth and charm of a historic farmhouse with the cleanliness, comfort, and function of a modern luxury stay. With five bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, the home is designed for families and groups to gather comfortably. The layout offers plenty of room to spread out, relax, reconnect, and enjoy time together without feeling crowded. Step outside and the property truly sets itself apart. Enjoy the brand-new private pool, relax in the hot tub, gather around the fire pit in the evening, or take a walk down the private hiking path to Beaver Creek. From morning coffee overlooking the land to quiet evenings under the stars, the setting feels peaceful, private, and memorable. Location is one of the biggest advantages. You’re just minutes from Hersheypark, the Giant Center, Hershey Medical Center, restaurants, shopping, and major routes—while still coming home to the privacy and space of a true ranch estate. Having raised our family here, we know and love the area well. Our kids grew up with Hersheypark passes and years of local memories, so we’re happy to share real recommendations—not generic travel tips. Candice is available to assist as much or as little as you’d like, whether that means local dining suggestions, help planning your stay, or thoughtful touches to make the trip feel special. Whether you’re visiting for a family trip, a special occasion, sporting event, concert, holiday, or Hershey-area getaway, this is more than a place to stay—it’s a completely reimagined historic ranch estate designed to be experienced.

The property was amazing! Everything felt brand new and beautifully done! The peaceful setting with the cows was perfect, and the kids in our group loved the hiking path and taking pictures on the tractor. Would definitely stay here again!
Fantastic stay! The house was clean, spacious, and perfect for our group. Everything felt brand new and very well done.We especially loved the hiking path down to the creek (about 1/4 to 1/2 mile each way)—our kids went multiple times and had a blast. It was such a unique feature and a great way to get outside and explore.The large dining table made it easy for everyone to gather together for meals, which was a big highlight. The setting is peaceful and private, but still close to Hershey and everything in the area.Would definitely stay again!
We had a fantastic stay. The home was extremely clean, comfortable, and beautifully renovated while still keeping the character of the historic farmhouse. Everything felt fresh, new, and very thoughtfully designed for groups and families.What really stood out was the setting. It’s peaceful, private, and unlike a typical rental property. The walking trail down to the creek was one of our favorite parts of the trip, and the open views of the farm made it feel relaxing from the moment we arrived. The kids loved seeing the cows and exploring outside.The location was also perfect for our weekend. It was an easy drive to Hershey attractions, Chocolate World, restaurants, and shopping, while still giving us a quiet place to come back to at the end of the day. The large gathering spaces inside made it easy for everyone to spend time together comfortably.The hosts were very responsive and helpful throughout the stay, and you can tell they put a lot of care into the property. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Hershey area.

About the host
Hosted by Michael Ricker
Candice and I have deep roots in this property long before it ever became a place to stay. We originally owned the neighboring Angus ranch and would pass this farmhouse every day—it always felt like a piece of history waiting to be brought back to life. When the opportunity came to purchase it, we knew it deserved to be done right. The home dates back to somewhere between 1820–1840, and we worked closely with the historical commission to preserve its character while thoughtfully transforming it into something exceptional. What followed was a complete, ground-up renovation—blending historic craftsmanship with modern luxury. This wasn’t just an update; it was a full reimagining of the home to today’s standards while honoring its past. Every detail was carefully considered with comfort, quality, and experience in mind. We added a brand-new pool and curated outdoor spaces designed for relaxation, connection, and unforgettable evenings—whether that’s a quiet morning coffee or a full gathering with family and friends. Expanding the property also gave our Angus cattle more land to graze, so your stay is set against the backdrop of a working ranch that we take real pride in. Hosting this home is personal to us. We didn’t create it as just another rental—we built it to be a place that feels special the moment you arrive, and one you’ll want to return to.
Why they chose this property
We chose this location because it offers the best of both worlds—peaceful, open surroundings with immediate access to everything Central Pennsylvania has to offer. The property sits among high-end homes and well-kept estates, giving it a quiet, upscale feel while still being just minutes from major routes. You’re close to Union Deposit Road and have quick access to Hershey, Harrisburg, and the surrounding areas without feeling like you’re in the middle of it. Hershey’s top attractions—including Hersheypark, Hershey Gardens, and the restaurants and shops along Chocolate Avenue—are all just a short drive away. The Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex, Giant Center, and downtown Harrisburg are also easily accessible, making this an ideal location whether you’re here for events, sports, concerts, or a weekend getaway. What we love most is that you can spend the day out enjoying everything the area has to offer—and then come back to a private, relaxed setting that feels completely removed from it all.
What makes this property unique
What makes this property truly unique is the combination you simply don’t find anywhere else in the Hershey/Harrisburg area. You’re staying on a private, 50-acre Angus ranch—yet you’re just minutes from Hershey, Harrisburg, and all major attractions. That balance of space, privacy, and convenience is incredibly rare. The home itself is equally distinctive. Originally built between 1820–1840, it has been completely renovated and reimagined to modern luxury standards. You get the character and craftsmanship of a historic farmhouse with the comfort, finishes, and amenities of a brand-new home. The setting elevates the entire experience—open land, grazing cattle, and a peaceful backdrop that feels far removed from everything, while still being close to it all. Add in the brand-new pool, thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, and the overall attention to detail throughout the property, and it becomes more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience. This isn’t a typical rental. It’s a private estate setting designed for guests who want something memorable, comfortable, and truly different.
