This exceptional 1,446-acre ranch in McArthur, California, presents a unique opportunity for agricultural and recreational pursuits. Located in the Fall River Valley, the property boasts abundant water resources, including five agricultural wells (with varying pump capacities ranging from 900 to 2800 GPM), a 15 HP spring pump producing 2500 GPM, and multiple springs, some year-round, feeding two ponds. A sophisticated flood/underground mainline and ditch irrigation system efficiently distributes water to the diverse acreage. Over 524 acres are dedicated to hay production, yielding over 2000 tons annually, with varying cuts per field depending on cattle grazing. Approximately 220 acres are currently leased for wild rice cultivation. The ranch supports a year-round cattle operation, currently running approximately 200 spring calving pairs, 20 replacement heifers, and 5 bulls. The property includes a substantial headquarters area encompassing a 3,400 sq ft metal shop, a large hay barn (18,000 sq ft), and other outbuildings totaling over 30,000 sq ft. Two homes are included: a 1500 sq ft main house with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, and a 1400 sq ft manager's house with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Both offer stunning views of Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen. A 200 kW DC solar field provides ample power for the entire operation. 193 acres are under a conservation easement, enhancing wildlife habitat and providing excellent hunting opportunities, including landowner deer tags and waterfowl hunting in the rice fields. The property offers convenient access via two roads and is comprised of Shasta County parcels (totaling 1291.7 acres) under the Williamson Act for reduced tax rates, and a Lassen County parcel (154.3 acres). Some equipment and cattle may be available for separate purchase. The property was formerly known as Winter Falls Ranch.
