About this property
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 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 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.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
