About this property

As you make your way through the brick columns topped with pineapple finials, an ode to the ranch's hospitality and welcoming spirit, you are greeted by the grand entrance of the main home with a well-landscaped paved plaza. The main home is situated on a quiet two-acre corner of the property, providing a tranquil escape from the working ranch headquarters, which are located across a separate parcel.

Just a stone's throw away, is the pool and chic pool house. An entertainer's delight. Grand Island Ranch's agrarian roots run deep. With fertile Class II and III soils, solar-powered 100 Hp irrigation well, and riparian rights to the Sacramento River, the property supports 180 acres of planted walnuts. Additionally, there are 10 acres of suitable land that could be cultivated for a crop other than walnuts. Beyond the agricultural value, this property offers a great recreational lifestyle. Over a mile of Sacramento River frontage is perfect for fishing, boating, and other water activities. The surrounding countryside also provides excellent hunting opportunities for wild turkeys, deer, dove, and pheasants. At the working ranch headquarters along the Sacramento River, there is a comfortable 2,461 square foot guest home with a pool, detached four-car garage, a 1,090 square foot three bedroom home used for storage, and a 900 square foot two bedroom home used as an office. There are two large and functional workshops with large roll-up doors, cement floors, shelving, electricity provided by solar panels on the roof, and a lift. Two historical barns remind one of the rich agricultural traditions of Colusa County. Located in a prime location with easy access to nearby towns, parks, and wineries, this property offers the best of both worlds: a productive agricultural operation and a peaceful rural retreat.

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.
