Strange Ranch: A River Runs Through it
Strange Ranch: A River Runs...
Strange Ranch is a marvel—a one-of-a-kind 117-acre sanctuary in the Sierra Nevada foothills where privacy and natural beauty meets investment potential. If you've ever longed to secure a family retreat, establish a signature preserve or conservation easement, or simply escape from the ordinary and immerse yourself in a beautiful environment where a private river truly runs through it, this is your opportunity.
The heavily wooded property supports a wide diversity of unique wildlife species and features a primary residence, a cozy farmhouse, a rental home, a large commercial warehouse, a shop, and multiple storage buildings, all surrounded by sweeping, ever-changing views. Outdoor and nature enthusiasts will find approximately 1/2 mile of private river frontage on the South Fork Mokelumne River adjacent to nearly 2 miles of river flowing through secluded BLM land—ideal for flyfishing for wild trout, swimming, gold panning, or simply discovering nature. The property provides access to approximately 950 acres of contiguous BLM lands within and beyond the river canyon. Trails crisscross the estate, perfect for hiking, horseback riding, and off-road biking, offering a rare connection to nature. Explore the history of the property including remains of Sierra Miwok tribe encampments and historic gold mines, water ditch, and even remains of a water powered stamp mill developed by the 49ers beginning in the 1850s.
Adding to its allure is the ranch's productive side: an existing Hipcamp operation that supports a private campground operation, and n optional licensed 1-acre cannabis canopy farm providing steady revenue or support other agricultural operations available for $1,195,000. The upper 55-acre parcel holds endless possibilities for development—be it further agriculture, a private retreat, 53 acres of medium density residential development with access to public water and sewer services, or a recreational facility available for $2,495,000. With its mix of seclusion, access, and opportunity, Strange Ranch is as practical as it is breathtaking.
