Located in western Siskiyou County, California, the AP Ranch is a 14,000 ± acre property steeped in history. Established in 1856, the ranch's topography is dominated by Lover’s Leap, with elevations ranging from 3,600 ft. to 5,400 ft. The property encompasses the headwaters of the East Fork of the Scott River, which flows for eight miles through the center of the ranch. The ranch benefits from adjudicated water rights on the East Fork and its tributaries, as well as rights to water from two nearby alpine lakes—Kangaroo and Rock Fence, irrigating approximately 1,400 acres of pasture that support livestock grazing. AP Ranch has operated as a year-round cow-calf operation, with a cattle lease in place and a carrying capacity of approximately 500 mother cows. There are seven homes on the ranch, six of which are in good condition and used by family members and ranch employees. The property also features six large, historic barns and various outbuildings, multiple corrals, including a large working and shipping area with certified scales at the ranch headquarters. The ranch and the surrounding area offer outdoor recreation opportunities such as hiking, swimming, paddleboarding, horseback riding, ATVing, fishing, and hunting. Wildlife thrives here, with sightings of Roosevelt’s elk, Columbia blacktail deer, beavers, black bears, mountain lions, Mountain and Valley quail, as well as Merriam’s wild turkeys. The higher elevations around the ranch provide terrain for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and snowmobiling. Nearby, Mt. Shasta Ski Park is less than an hour’s drive away, while Mt. Ashland Ski Area is just under a 1.5-hour drive, offering downhill skiing and snowboarding. The property is in the Williamson Act.
