The Campaign for Sunny M Ranch

Welcome to Sunny M Ranch: These 1200 acres of land near the Town of Winthrop hold so many possibilities. They are home to some of the Methow Valley’s most abundant wildlife. The nearly 400 acres of agricultural fields are actively farmed and 10 miles of trails are vital to the local economy. There is also space for a small neighborhood near town that will be affordable for people who work here.

Many mountain communities never get a chance to determine what the landscape near town looks like and how it reflects community values. Thanks to community support for the Campaign for Sunny M Ranch, we do. 

At the end of December 2022, the Methow Conservancy launched the Imagine the Methow: the Campaign for Sunny M Ranch, with the intention of preserving 1200 acres of land near the Town of Winthrop, in the heart of the Methow Valley. On June 15, 2023, we celebrated the community's success! With the incredible generosity of people who love the Methow Valley, the Methow Conservancy raised more than $8.7M to purchase the Sunny M Ranch and to seed a Stewardship & Maintenance Fund to ensure we can be responsible long-term stewards of the land. 

If you'd like to make a multi-year commitment, please visit our website at methowconservancy.org/sunnym. 

Thank you for helping us reserve possibilities for this beautiful piece of land.
