Spanning approximately 2,933 contiguous acres in Covelo's Round Valley, this exceptional ranch offers a rare combination of productive agricultural land, abundant water resources, remarkable privacy, and extraordinary recreational opportunity. Approximately 1,100 acres are pasture, including 300-400 acres historically flood irrigated by an agricultural artesian well and an additional 600 acres of historically dry-farmed ground. The balance consists of open grazing land, oak woodlands, and rolling upland terrain. A year-to-year cattle lease provides current income potential. Water is a defining feature of the ranch, with artesian and agricultural wells, ponds, stock reservoirs, seasonal creeks, springs, and seeps supporting livestock, wildlife, and year-round enjoyment. Improvements include a ranch residence, additional residence, large entertainment barn, horse barn, hay barn, shop, equipment storage buildings, perimeter and cross fencing, multiple access points, an extensive internal road system, and a private airstrip for small aircraft and helicopter access. Beyond its agricultural value, the ranch offers an increasingly rare opportunity to experience Northern California's wilderness on a grand scale. Miles of private roads invite horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, photography, camping, and exploring a landscape where privacy, dark skies, and natural beauty remain largely untouched. The entertainment barn provides an inviting setting for family gatherings, client appreciation events, intimate executive retreats, or conservation-focused experiences. Located in one of Northern California's premier sporting regions, the ranch supports Columbian blacktail deer, wild pig, black bear, turkey, waterfowl, upland game birds, and seasonal elk. Previously enrolled in California's Private Lands Management (PLM) program, the property historically benefited from significant tag allocations and may offer future re-enrollment opportunities. Whether envisioned as a productive cattle operation, legacy family ranch, private sporting property, conservation holding, or long-term investment, this extraordinary property offers a rare combination of scale, water, infrastructure, accessibility, and enduring value.
