Maximos Ranch, or Rancho Appaloosa to use its correct name, can be found to the north of Limassol. Just head for Kouris dam and keep going. It was abandoned about 20 years ago. This film is a mix of walking tour, drone footage and view from the car. It complements several blogs and a virtual tour.

Re: Maximos Ranch Walking Tour
Dominic do you know when the ranch was actually commissioned there does not appear any reference online except your blogs
Re: Maximos Ranch Walking Tour
No idea I am afraid. I think it went into decay at the end of the 90s though, judging by the literature and diary I found lying around. The maximosgroup website (now defunct) only goes back to 2003 itself. They must have had a different site name before that, because I can't imagine they would do a page for the ranch in 2003.

Re: Maximos Ranch Walking Tour
Thanks Dominic
It must have cost an absolute fortune to construct, with every facility imaginable for the equines and humans

Re: Maximos Ranch Walking Tour
Thanks Dominic. I thought the same as Yioula. All those facilities would have been very expensive. It would be interesting to know why it was built and why it was abandoned.
