Features include multiple seasonal streams, waterfalls, and year-round spring-fed ponds. A divided paved road traverses the entire ranch, complemented by well-maintained dirt roads. The property boasts plentiful wildlife, valuable timber, and panoramic mountain views, including Dalton Mountain. An existing historical homestead (circa 1880s) includes a country home and three outbuildings: a carriage house, chicken coop, and meat house. Mineral rights and a mining patent are included. Exceptional water resources consist of 60 springs, three wells, and two large ponds, along with an underground river and rainy season waterfalls. The elevation ranges from approximately 800 to 1800 feet. Diverse tree species include California Oak, Canyon Live Oak, Valley Oak, Western Sycamore, and California Buckeye. Wildlife includes blacktail deer, mule deer, turkeys, pigs, fox, coyotes, bobcats, and mountain and valley quail. A current cattle grazing lease generates approximately $11,000 annually. Six miles of paved road frontage, miles of fencing, gates, and established dirt roads enhance accessibility. Recreational opportunities abound, including hunting, fishing, horseback riding, off-roading, hiking, and camping. Utilities include electricity, water, and three wells
