Here is a welcoming family ranch or income property to consider--almost 465 acres of winter grazing land, plus a 2,750 sq.ft. main residence and a 1,785 second residence for living or income. Nestled among valley grasslands and in view of the rugged beauty of the Lassen foothills lies Wilson Ranch--beyond grass, this winter cattle grazing property includes good perimeter and cross-fencing, corrals and cattle-handling equipment, barns and workshops, and rotational grazing opportunities. In addition, the ranch offers conservation opportunities and natural resource protections for blue oaks, and the rushing waters of adjacent Mill Creek, an important stream for steelhead, fall-run Chinook salmon, and spring-run Chinook salmon. The ranch has been leased for cattle grazing and will hold a conservation easement, in process with The Nature Conservancy, to be finalized prior to close of escrow. Located roughly half-way between Red Bluff and Chico, the ranch offers productive land and two homes, ideally situated for a cattleman's or outdoorsman's family, with the breathtaking wilderness of the 37,000-acre Dye Creek Preserve adjacent.
