Havat Hashikmim

Havat Hashikmim ( _he. חוות השקמים, lit. "Sycamore Farm") is a ranch that belongs to the family of former Prime Minister of Israel Ariel Sharon.

The ranch that covers territory of nearly 1,000 acres (4 km²) is located in the northern Negev's Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council, close to the town of Sderot. Sharon took control of Havat Hashikmim in the early 1970s. His sons Omri and Gilad live on and maintain the ranch.

Havat Hashikmim is the only privately owned ranch in Israel. Ariel Sharon's second wife, Lily, is buried there.
