About This Home

Spanning 748 acres, this remarkable ranch offers the scale, water resources, and infrastructure to support a wide range of recreational, agricultural, and destination uses. The property features multiple ponds, a 25-acre reservoir renowned for bass fishing, two creeks, four completed wells, and gravity-fed irrigation capable of serving large sections of the ranch. Extensive fire mitigation and ongoing land stewardship further enhance the property's long-term value and usability. The land is periodically grazed by cattle and is well suited for continued livestock operations, while its combination of water, topography, and improvements also creates an exceptional setting for a private sporting ranch, family retreat, corporate getaway, or event venue--all just 10 minutes from the conveniences of downtown such as shopping, dining, Starbucks, and The New Redding Public Market. Overlooking the reservoir, a custom-covered pavilion serves as a natural gathering place with a massive stone fireplace, full outdoor BBQ kitchen, and a setting designed for entertaining on a grand scale. Inspired by a traditional fire lookout tower, the custom-built studio offers a distinctive retreat above the landscape. Finished with natural stone and wood, the open living space is surrounded by expansive windows and a wraparound deck that captures panoramic 360-degree views across the ranch, reservoir, and surrounding countryside. Properties of this scale and quality are increasingly difficult to find. With abundant water, established infrastructure, and a setting designed to bring people together, this ranch offers an opportunity to create something truly enduring.
