Country Home Loans

We’re committed to providing a full range of products and services to meet the growing residential lending needs of customers in our territory.

If you’re considering buying, building or refinancing a home in the country, we now have rural financing options that may fit your needs.

Farm Credit Services of Colusa-Glenn, ACA recently entered into an agreement with Northwest Farm Credit Services, another Farm Credit lender, to increase the range of financing options available to our customers. Through this relationship, we can now offer rural residential financing through the Country Home Loan program.

If you’d like to discuss whether a Country Home Loan, or a traditional ag loan, is a better fit for your needs, please give us a call. There are three types of loans available through the Country Home Loan lending program.

Rural Home Loans

The Country Home Loan program is designed to promote rural development by providing rural residents with financing to purchase or refinance rural homes, land or lots, or make improvements to a home or property located in the country. The rural home loan program offers financing options for rural properties that many lenders may not be able to finance.

  • Large acreages
  • Bare land without water, power or septic
  • Properties with farm income or zoned for agriculture
  • Land with barns, shops, outbuildings and/or riding arenas
  • Manufactured, log and shop-homes
  • Homes on properties with vineyards, orchards, nurseries, woodlands, conservation lands or other agricultural commodities
  • Properties with multiple, permanent homesites
  • Off-grid properties and multiple, continuous parcels

  • Power, well and septic aren’t typically required
  • Flexible timelines for future home sites
  • Refinancing programs are also available

With this program, you can finance every step of your homebuilding journey with one convenient loan that offers multiple options for locking in rates and making payments during the construction period.

  • One loan, one set of fees and one closing
  • Renovations, remodels and outbuildings are eligible
