Property Description
Set along the Humboldt and Mendocino County line, the 3,206 ± acre South Fork Eel Ranch offers a compelling blend of scale, privacy, and natural beauty. Elevations range from 1,000 feet along the East Branch South Fork Eel River to 2,800-foot ridge lines, creating diverse terrain and sweeping views. Over 2.6 miles of South Fork Eel River frontage, nearly two miles of Tom Long Creek, along with several seasonal creeks, provide abundant, year-round water and anchor the ranch's rich landscape. Historically a premier hunting retreat, the property remains an exceptional recreational haven. Its varied habitat supports wild pig, turkey, blacktail deer, bear, and quail, while the river offers trout fishing opportunities.

Supplements
With plentiful water resources, including a multitude of wells, coupled with extensive acreage to explore, the ranch is well-suited for a private sporting estate, corporate/business retreat, or family getaway.
Equally notable is the ranch's significant conservation potential. Its size, water resources, and intact ecosystems present opportunities for conservation. The ranch supports a strong inventory of merchantable Douglas-fir, complemented by moderate hardwood volumes across the property. The merchantable timber adds an income-producing component, making this property a rare combination of recreation, stewardship, and long-term investment value.
Whether envisioned as a legacy holding, a conservation-minded investment, or a refined escape into Northern California's rugged landscape, the property presents a unique opportunity to steward a vast and unspoiled environment for generations to come - where privacy, ecological richness, and enduring value converge.
