Property Description
A River Runs Through It. Offered for the first time in its history, this extraordinary 1,500± acre legacy ranch is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Northern California's most remarkable conservation properties. Encompassing 21 legal parcels along the pristine, undammed Mattole River, the ranch offers an unparalleled combination of natural beauty, historic character, and agricultural land. At the heart of the property, the Mattole River winds through the ranch, joined by 8 creeks and an abundance of springs that provide exceptional water resources throughout the landscape. Towering old-growth Douglas fir forests, rolling meadows, and approximately 300 acres of productive grazing pasture create a diverse and breathtaking setting that has been treasured by the same family for generations. The ranch features three separate homestead areas with four residences, offering a combined total of 12 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms, providing ample accommodations for extended family, guests, or multi-generational living. A spacious bunkhouse comfortably sleeps up to 16 guests, making the property ideal for hosting family reunions, retreats, or ranch staff. Supporting the ranch's operations are a horse barn with tack room, three agricultural barns, multiple shops and garages, providing exceptional space for equipment, livestock, vehicles, and recreational gear. Modern conveniences, including PG&E power, are already in place. One of the property's most memorable residences is the charming river house, thoughtfully crafted from old-growth Douglas fir milled from majestic trees that naturally fell during winter storms. Anchored by a magnificent stone fireplace, the home offers a warm and inviting retreat where generations have gathered to share stories after days spent fishing, horseback riding, or exploring the ranch. Protected by a conservation easement, the ranch will remain an enduring sanctuary for generations to come. The easement prohibits logging and hunting, preserving the property's extraordinary ecological integrity while protecting habitat for numerous endangered and sensitive species. Miles of Mattole River frontage, eight year-round creeks, towering forests, open pastures, and abundant wildlife create an unmatched setting for fishing, horseback riding, hiking, ranching, and reconnecting with nature. More than a ranch, this is a legacy property--a place where countless family memories have been made and where new traditions await. Rarely does a property of this scale, history, and environmental significance come to market. This is a remarkable opportunity to steward one of California's most spectacular riverfront ranches while preserving its beauty for generations to come.
