Jarrett Farm Foreclosed On, Up For August Sheriff's Sale
A popular retreat in southern Washington County has been foreclosed on and is facing a Sheriff’s Sale in August to pay off the debt.
Jarrett Farm Resort, on Highway 75 between Ramona and Vera, and its owners defaulted on their mortgage in December 2023 — nearly two years after the property was purchased from Tri County Tech.
The owners laid out ambitious plans to revitalize the 114-acre property into a 13-suite resort and event center. However, court records show they stopped paying the mortgage, leading to default in December 2023.
A year-and-a-half battle in Washington County over the default wrapped up in June 2025 when the court ordered the foreclosure and for the property to be placed on the Aug. 25 Sheriff’s Sale.
Records show the default is more than $1.5 million with an assessed value of $1.2 million.
