This vast property include 2,400 deeded acres +-, of which 260 acres +- are in cross fenced and well established permanent pastures. The balance acreage is in grazing lands with nearly 20 miles of roads, several water holes for livestock,a year-round spring fed trout pond, and two other reservoirs. Just recently completed are extensive corrals and cattle working facilities. To the east end of this property is a secluded cabin site set in the tall timber and rimrock with a freshwater well. At an elevation of nearly 5,000 feet, this site has a beautiful view of the entire Big Valley, including Mount Lassen and Mount Shasta. The property is adjacent to government land and high rimrock country to the north.

Above the 260 acres +- of mostly pivot irrigated pasture is 3,600 acres +- of deeded and government land, newly cross fenced into two separate pastures of 1,800 acres +- each. Three reservoirs and several stock ponds and springs create ample water for livestock. The spring fed pond is fenced and stocked with rainbow trout, featuring of barbeque, boat and dock and picnic area. Two other reservoirs are stocked with bass.

Wildlife abounds throughout the property. A substantial antelope herd as well as mule deer enjoy the rangeland along with quail, pheasant, grouse and sage hen. Occasionally an elk is also seen. To the south this ranch adjoins the Ash Creek State Wildlife Waterfowl Preserve which provides a great number of ducks and geese with habitat for food and resting areas as they proceed both up and down the Pacific flyway.

Less than a 40 minute drive provides two nationally renowned trout streams, "Fall River" and "Hat Creek", for the fishing enthusiast. Several other smaller trout streams exist nearby.

For the cow/calf operator, in a normal year the current capacity is easily 350 pair (700 head of cows and calves) from April 1st to November. At elevations ranging from 4,200 feet at the valley floor up to nearly 6,000 feet and into the timberlands of Fox Mountain, this resource makes a viable cattle operation as well as a great recreational property for the new owner.

While no home currently exists on the vast property there are several building sites with existing wells offering spectacular views of the valley as well as Mount Lassen and Mount Shasta. For a temporary residence, an RV or mobile home could be easily sited near the working corrals where water and power are immediately available.

This land is not in the Williamson Act. During the development of the irrigated pastures, eight separate well sites were drilled and not developed that should make excellent domestic wells if this property were ever subdivided.

Surprise Valley Electric, a Rural Electrification Association (ERA) supplies all electric power to this property. The rates are in the 3.8 cents per kilowatt range, being currently about 40% less than PG&E in most other areas of northeastern California.
