This historic sixth-generation ranch, held by the same family since the late 1800s, is now being offered for sale. Spanning both sides of the Upper Fall River, the property features sweeping views of Mt. Shasta, the river, and surrounding valleys and mountain ranges, along with numerous potential building sites. The pristine waters of the river originate from some of the largest freshwater springs in the nation. With nearly two miles of river frontage, including significant stretches on both banks, this section of the river is widely regarded for its exceptional fly-fishing and sustains thriving populations of wild rainbow and brown trout. The property includes 'Zug Bug Alley, ' a locally recognized section of river prized by anglers. The land also provides excellent habitat for a diverse range of wildlife. It is known for abundant waterfowl, with frequent sightings of geese, ducks, and sandhill cranes, as well as raptors including eagles, hawks, and osprey. Encompassing 146+ acres, the property is enrolled in the Williamson Act, offering substantially reduced property taxes. Located along the east side of Spring Creek Road near Fall River Mills, California, the ranch features a centrally positioned private wooden bridge that provides convenient access across the river--an uncommon and valuable amenity. It has long supported cattle grazing, while its alluvial soils and established irrigation system consistently produce high-quality organic grass hay. The property is fully fenced with multiple access points. Situated between the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges, Fall River Valley remains one of California's most scenic and unspoiled regions. The ranch lies approximately 70 miles northeast of Redding along Highway 299, with convenient access to creeks, lakes, campgrounds, and other diverse recreational activities. This is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property that combines natural beauty, productive land, and exceptional recreational appeal--all in one.
