Description of the Country Home
|
Location- The Springs Ranch is located in Surprise Valley, just south of the small rural community of Ft. Bidwell and 23 miles north of Cedarville, Modoc County, California. The area offers a western lifestyle and country charm. Surprise Valley also offers a hot springs resort, airport, several restaurants, hotel, motel, B & B’s, 2 saddle makers, library, hospital, it’s own school district and all of the necessary ancillary services. The views in any direction are spectacular. The ranch rests at the base of the Warner Mountains and overlooks the meadows and Upper Lake; to the east is Nevada with Oregon to the north. Acreage & Irrigation- At an elevation of 4,700 feet, the ranch consists of approximately 1,650 acres, 1,082 deeded acres and 568 contiguous acres of BLM leased land. The 1,082 acres consists of: 230+/- acres improved upland pasture, 300+/- acres irrigated native pasture, irrigated from 4 large springs that provide ample water for the natural high mountain meadows, 112+/- acres planted in a mix of wheat grass & dry land alfalfa if desired and the remaining 440+/- acres are mountain rangeland, with native sage, grasses and brush. All water originates on the ranch and no water has to be shared with neighbors. One well is equipped with a 40 HP submersible pump and produces 500-600 GPM and is used as needed for late summer supplemental water. 2 additional wells are not plumbed, seller does not have well log and has not had to use them. Carrying Capacity – This ranch is one of the most inexpensive ranches to operate as one person can run it with time to spare. It is capable of summering 7 to 8 loads of cattle. Calves in late summer. Cattle winter in the Sacramento Valley. The ranch would produce enough hay to winter cattle at home if the alfalfa ground was put back into irrigation for a hay crop. If run as a feeder cattle operation, the ranch could support 600-700 feeders from late April to September. Improvements – Improvements included a 2,300 sq. ft. 4 bedroom, 2 bath home and office, which has recently been upgraded. The yard is nicely landscaped with a pond, running creek and is nestled in a shady grove of mature poplar trees. The house and corrals are supplied by the best tasting gravity flow spring water. 2 large, old style, barns provide hay storage, animal shelter and are aesthetically pleasing. The corrals are in good working order with post and board construction, Power River gates and a large covered Powder River squeeze chute. A 20,000 lb. scale with scale house, large shop and equipment shed complete the stead. The ranch has ample buildings, is not cluttered and is a very clean place. Very little equipment is needed to operate this ranch. About 50 hours are spent dragging meadows in the spring. Otherwise, maintaining the ditches and fences and rotational grazing is all there is to it. Hunting – Some of the best hunting in the Warner Mountains have to offer can be found on the ranch or in the immediate area. Game that is on the property are; mule deer, goose, duck, quail, elk, pronghorn, chucker and grouse. 2 landowner deer tags are allotted to the owners each year. There is a draw for 2 annual elk tags for landowners in this elk habitat area. There were 9 bull Elk & 17 buck Mule Deer on the ranch September 2008. 6 to 8 landowners have been in this pool on a regular basis. Varmint hunting for the Belding’s Ground Squirrel is spectacular with hunters paying $75.90 per gun day from March through July. Furthermore, the ranch is minutes away from excellent trout fishing in numerous lakes and streams. The carrying capacities stated are actual historical numbers. Future carrying capacities may vary due to management and weather conditions.
