$44,000,000 • 5,620 acres The ranch comprises over 5,620± acres, offering both seclusion and proximity to major southern California markets. The ranch benefits from a variety of income streams, including agriculture, oil and gas production, equestrian operations, an event venue, and film.
$29,950,000 • 23,600 acres Dodge Ranch is one of the largest remaining ranches in California, with 111 assessor’s parcels totaling
23,600 deeded acres and 224,971 acres of federal grazing allotments, spanning approximately twenty
square miles on the Madeline Plains, east of the unincorporated community of Ravendale, California.
Currently, the ranch produces organic alfalfa on approximately 3,700 irrigated acres. Fourteen quality
Nelson bubbler pivots deliver most of the water to the crop, and all but five of the pivots were installed
new within the last five years.
The holding consists of four ranches: Horn Ranch, Marr Ranch, Evans Ranch, and Dodge Ranch (the
property’s headquarters). A summary of the property’s structures includes five houses, a duplex, two
bunkhouses, a guest house, four corrals/stables, five storage shed/barn buildings, a mechanic’s shop, a
seed shop, and several additional structures dedicated to ranch operations.
The ranch is supplied with water through a system that includes over 20 wells, a series of canals,
pipelines, lift pumps, culverts, and ponds, and the rights to abundant surface water from Dodge Reservoir
and Buckhorn Reservoir.
$3,950,000 • 290 acres The Bar 13 Ranch’s 290 acres comprise leveled irrigated farmland, pastures, corrals, barns, and a two-bedroom, two-bath riverfront home with a deck and boat dock. The ranch is currently run as a cow-calf operation with hay production as well.
$4,850,000 • 1,000 acres The ranch includes productive farmland currently leased to a local cattle rancher, providing annual income to the owners.

Abundant wetlands and the presence of Burney Creek underscore the valuable water resources and water rights on the property.
