Listing Price:       $970,000.

Property:             200.4 +/- acres of farm and range land with Reeds Creek running through this unique ranch property.  Ranch is livestock ready including fencing, large hay barn, shop, horse barn and dog kennels.  Owners residence has (3) bedrooms, two baths and fenced pool.  30 +/- acres of Class 1 Soil previously used for irrigated pasture.  This ranch offers wildlife and privacy yet is not far from Red Bluff, CA.

Location:             The ranch is located 6 +/- miles (W) of Red Bluff, CA at 19169 Reeds Creek Road, Red Bluff, CA.  The local area is comprised primarily of oak covered rolling hills with irrigated and dry grazing lands.   The property is bordered by three county paved roads which provide access for development in the future.

Soils:                    The Maywood Loam (Class I) soil located (N) of Reeds Creek was previously used for irrigated pasture.  The Class II and III soils are used for livestock grazing.  With irrigation, many of these soils may be suitable for orchard crops typically grown in Tehama County.

Water:                  Irrigation water is provided by an irrigation well and 10 HP electric turbine motor.  Residential and livestock water is provided by a smaller well and electric submersible pump.  Water in this area is known to be of excellent quality.

Irrigation:            30 +/- acres of Class I soil are level for flood irrigation using the AG well and buried concrete pipeline.  The well and pipeline have not been used in a long time.

Farmstead:          The farmstead area is accessed using a private driveway from Reeds Creek Road winding down to Reeds Creek.  Numerous fruitless Mulberry trees are planted around the outbuildings for summertime shade.

Zoning:                Tehama County Assessor Parcel Numbers 022-340-20 (159.45 acres) and 022-340-69 (12.23 acres).  Both parcels are zoned EA-AP Exclusive Agriculture, Ag Preserve (Williamson Act), 40 acre minimum.  On September 30, 2004, the Owner filed a “Notice of Non Renewal” on the Williamson Act Contract.  This contract will expire at the end of 2014 after which current zoning allows 20 acre minimum.

Lot Line Adj:      In 2007, the Owner hired a respected local Surveyor to assist Owner with a lot line adjustment with the goal of creating a 122.1 +/- acre parcel (N) of Reeds Creek and a 78.3 +/- acre parcel (S) of Reeds Creek.  While researching and preparing the application, the Surveyor determined total acreage to be 200.4 +/- acres not 171.68 +/- acres as shown on the Tehama County Assessor Maps.  Owner has since learned a lot line adjustment is not possible while the property is in the process of Williamson Act non-renewal.  However, Owner believes the lot line adjustment would be possible if the property was reenrolled within the Williamson Act.

Residence:            2,199 sqft home with three bedrooms and two baths.  The residence is above average in quality and in good condition with new interior painting.  The home has two fireplaces with kerosene fuel oil insert in the Family Room.  There is a central heating and air conditioning as well.  A 384 square foot storage room with bath is attached by breezeway to the carport.

Outbuildings:      A 3,328 sqft hay barn built of wood frame and metal roof, concrete perimeter foundation and partial concrete floor.  A 1,200 sqft enclosed metal shop with concrete floor and an additional 1,200 sqft gravel floor open to front equipment shed.  A 1,152 sqft metal horse barn with tack room and attached paddock.  A covered dog kennel with runs for a total of (10) dogs.  Many steel, plastic, and wire fences partition the farmstead and perimeter of the property.

Mineral Rights:   Seller to transfer all oil, gas and minerals rights owned by Seller.

Wildlife:               In the past, Owner has had a wildlife feeding program to increase the black tail deer and wild turkey populations.  There are quail, dove and other waterfowl on the property which enjoy the year around stream flow from Reeds Creek.

Comments:          This ranch has been owned by the same family for over 52 years, since 1956.  It has been operated as the home headquarters for a large beef cattle operation which also leased uplands in Tehama and Glenn Counties in California as wells as Klamath and Lake Counties in Oregon.  The property use could be expanded to other types of agricultural operations or held for future development of rural ranchettes.
