Located in the northeastern part of the United States, New York is a state with a long history. As with all of America, the area was originally home to Indigenous peoples. In the 1500s, an Italian explorer came to the area, which was then followed by the French and the Dutch, and eventually English control. The state was one of the original 13 colonies, which gained independence in 1776. Today, the state is one of the most populous in the nation and is home to one of the world’s major cities, New York City. New York City is known for its dining, art, and fashion industry. But sometimes, taking a break from the city is a need. New York also offers loads of green space to explore. From beautiful lakes to a plethora of state parks. Aside from that, there are farms where you can live by the hills. Try living in a ranch for a couple of days and experience waking up to the sounds of crowing roosters in the morning. Spend your days lounging around your cosy home while overlooking green sceneries. In the time of fast-paced living, everyone needs a breath of fresh air, and you’ll find that in one of these ranches. If this sounds up your alley, then keep on reading, because we’ve listed the best ranches in New York, USA.
