Nestled in Mason City, Iowa, lies a one-of-a-kind art haven unlike any other – Rancho Deluxe. This ever-evolving wonderland is the brainchild of local resident Max Weaver, a self-proclaimed "dumpster diving" artist with a knack for transforming discarded treasures into captivating works of art.
Rancho Deluxe is a visual feast for the senses. With a whimsical blend of recycled materials, repurposed objects, and rogue art installations, the garden embodies the spirit of outsider art. From bicycle parts adorning fences to license plates creating mosaics, every corner reveals a hidden gem.

What began as a personal project in 2003 has blossomed into a Mason City landmark.  Local artists have joined the creative process, adding their own unique touches to the ever-growing landscape.  Even a 3,000-pound piece of granite from the former County Courthouse has found a new lease on life at Rancho Deluxe.

Whether you're a fan of quirky art or simply seeking a unique experience, Mason City's Rancho Deluxe is a must-visit.  This free, self-guided tour is a delightful escape into the world of Max Weaver's artistic vision, where discarded objects are reborn into a vibrant and ever-changing display of creativity.
