DUTCH CREEK RANCH is a rare find in the SIERRAS with a private setting that includes a 6 ACRE LAKE, 2,780 SF RANCH HOUSE, 949 SF MANAGER's QUARTERS, 2,900 SF BARN, 500 SF HAYBARN and a GOAT RANCH! The owners have enjoyed fishing in the lake, hunting, horseback riding and shooting on the property. The ranch is fully fenced and cross fenced with multiple pastures, barns and pens for livestock. The LAKE is fully permitted with a Dam and water rights and can be used for agriculture, irrigation, recreation, and is a waterfowl sanctuary. Waterfowl preservation and hunting opportunities come with the property. FOUR WELLS are on the property, two of which are powered with SOLAR PUMPS. These four wells allow water distribution to the entire 123 acres and support stock tanks, distributed food plots and gardens. The hay barn will hold 500 bales of hay and also houses a welding shop. The 2900 SF Feed Barn has many stalls, electricity and a 11' x 60' loft, a medicine room and stairwell. It was built in a fashion that allows it to be repurposed for horses or say a car collection. The adjacent 340 SF mini-quad garage matches the house design and provides customized storage for necessary tools and supplies. Timber Preserve Zoning allows many benefits including; Tax incentives for the undeveloped portions and potential for Agri-tourism and Ag-Stay opportunities. The 123 acres is divided into two parcels - 40 Acres and 83 Acres. The entire property has had brush removal and clearing, making the property more grazable while protecting timber stands. Bordered by Stanislaus National Forest on two sides affords privacy and access to more land for hiking and hunting. The owners currently raise Goats and keep about 100-150 head at a time. ATT high speed fixed wireless internet service facilitates recently added, perfect for work/school/zooming from home as well as home video surveillance of the property. Call for more details!
