About this property
This historic sixth-generation ranch, held by the same family since the late 1800s, is now being offered for sale. Spanning both sides of the Upper Fall River, the property features sweeping views of Mt. Shasta, the river, and surrounding valleys and mountain ranges, along with numerous potential building sites. The pristine waters of the river originate from some of the largest freshwater springs in the nation. With nearly two miles of river frontage, including significant stretches on both banks, this section of the river is widely regarded for its exceptional fly-fishing and sustains thriving populations of wild rainbow and brown trout. The property includes "Zug Bug Alley," a locally recognized section of river prized by anglers. The land also provides excellent habitat for a diverse range of wildlife. It is known for abundant waterfowl, with frequent sightings of geese, ducks, and sandhill cranes, as well as raptors including eagles, hawks, and osprey. Encompassing 146+ acres, the property is enrolled in the Williamson Act, offering substantially reduced property taxes. Located along the east side of Spring Creek Road near Fall River Mills, California, the ranch features a centrally positioned private wooden bridge that provides convenient access across the river-an uncommon and valuable amenity. It has long supported cattle grazing, while its alluvial soils and established irrigation system consistently produce high-quality organic grass hay. The property is fully fenced with multiple access points. Situated between the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges, Fall River Valley remains one of California's most scenic and unspoiled regions. The ranch lies approximately 70 miles northeast of Redding along Highway 299, with convenient access to creeks, lakes, campgrounds, and other diverse recreational activities. This is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property that combines natural beauty, productive land, and exceptional recreational appeal-all in one.

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.
