Tucked into the southeastern corner of the beautiful Fall River Valley, Mountain Shadow Ranch offers 195 acres of productive ranch land in a private, picturesque setting. With 104 acres currently in hay production and irrigated by two pivots and wheel lines, the property blends agricultural utility with exceptional natural beauty. Majestic views extend in every direction, including striking vistas of Mt. Shasta, while the main residence sits on a gentle rise overlooking a spring-fed, 20-acre private lake. Additional improvements include a charming second home, a large hay barn, a livestock barn/shop, and a chicken coop. The ranch is partially fenced, with some interior fencing, and the terrain is level to gently rolling. For buyers seeking privacy, productivity, and a tranquil lifestyle property, this ranch is a rare opportunity not to be missed. The 2,358-square-foot main home features four bedrooms and three baths with an inviting open floor plan designed to capture the surrounding views. A spacious living room and dining area are anchored by a wood stove set on a lava rock hearth, while large windows bring the outdoors in. A glass slider opens to the back deck and pergola, creating an ideal space to relax and take in the scenery. The horseshoe kitchen includes a center island, six-burner gas range, and oversized pantry, complemented by a generous laundry/mud room with utility sink and storage. An attached two-car garage with concrete apron adds convenience and function. The second home offers 1,152 square feet with two bedrooms and one bath and has been tastefully remodeled, providing comfortable accommodations for guests, extended family, or ranch support. A detached garage completes this well-rounded improvement package.
