Fantasy Island is a gorgeous 30 acre ranch located in the heart of Central Vermont. We have many animals ranging from beautiful pheasants, chickens, ducks and peacocks to mini cows, alpacas, llamas, goats, and a wide variety of horses with so many more in between. We take pride in providing the best care for the land and our animals throughout the year in all the seasons. The ranch is a family retreat as well as a working Airbnb, film location, and social event grounds. We are continuously expanding; adding more attractions to the property and more animals to the pack! We hope to find a person(s) that is just as passionate as we are about the vision for the ranch and looking to improve it each day.
