About this property
Perched atop a scenic ridge at 2,300 feet, the 320-acre Hensley Mountain Ranch offers sweeping views of the Sutter Buttes, the Sacramento Valley, and year-round sunsets that paint the horizon. Bordered by 3,200 acres of Sierra Pacific timberland and nearly 1,200 acres of California state rangeland, this property provides unmatched privacy and tranquility. Thoughtfully developed by a master road builder, a high-quality network of roads grants easy access to every corner of the ranch. Harvested for timber in 2000, the forest-composed of stately Ponderosa pines, oak, and cedar-has been carefully thinned and maintained to promote forest health and reduce wildfire risk, a testament to which is CalFire's decision to stage equipment here during the 2019 Cascade Fire. The land is fully perimeter and cross-fenced, with gated pastures and water troughs ready for livestock. Outdoor recreation has long been at the heart of family life here-horseback riding, off-road adventures, and hunting for turkey and deer have spanned three generations. A serene half-acre pond, stocked with bass and bluegill, sits beside a small fruit orchard irrigated by the same well. For the sports enthusiast, the ranch also offers a pistol range with four bays, a rifle range, and open spaces perfect for archery practice. Collins Lake is less than 5 miles away, offering even greater access to outdoor recreation. The comfortable 1,925-square-foot main residence features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, powered entirely off-grid by solar arrays with premium battery storage (recently upgraded) and a diesel generator backup. Large west-facing windows frame breathtaking sunset views, while a studio apartment above the two-car garage provides a third bedroom, bathroom, and a balcony overlooking the valley. Nearby, a 2,400-square-foot metal shop-with epoxy-coated floors, large roll-up doors, storage racks, offices, a loft, and a wood stove-serves both practical and recreational purposes. Between the home and shop, a sturdy 40' x 21' x 16' pole barn shelters the ranch's heavy equipment, completing this well-appointed mountain retreat-a perfect balance of self-sufficiency, natural beauty, and family tradition.

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.
