Hardscrabble Ranch

Property Information

Property Description

Set in the beautiful Inwood Valley, Hardscrabble Ranch offers unsurpassed beauty and serenity. The 878 acre property features a mile and a half of Bear Creek, forests, 50 acres of irrigated, organic pasture, abundant wildlife, and a nice two-bedroom, two-bath home with majestic views of the entire ranch. Infrastructure on the ranch includes a barn, workshop, corral, and large fenced garden. The ranch is 100% hydro-powered, which means independent, low-cost living.

The property is an excellent horse property. It includes a barn with three stalls, a tack room, and large main floor. There is plenty of room adjacent to the barn to build a horse arena. The ranch boasts beautiful mountain trails and backs up to forests with miles and miles of forest roads.

The ranch is included in an area that is awaiting approval as an AVA (American Viticulture Area). Anselmo Vineyards, located 8 miles from the property and also awaiting the same AVA designation, is producing award-winning wines.

The ranch is approximately 30 miles from Redding and 20 miles from the entrance to Lassen Volcanic National Park. Recreation opportunities include world class fishing, hunting, snow skiing, water skiing, hiking or just about anything else you want to do. The ranch itself is home to black-tail deer, turkey, quail, black bear, mountain lion, fox, squirrel, rabbit and numerous other small animals.

There is a large timber stand on the ranch to include numerous species of oak, western red cedar, ponderosa pine and some fir. A small timber harvest conducted in the 90s resulted in a sizeable profit to the ranch and could be done once again when timber prices regain their strength.

This truly is a historic gem located in one of the most scenic areas of California.
