Strange Ranch is a rare 117± acre, three-parcel investment and development opportunity in the Sierra Nevada Gold Country of Calaveras County. Offered at $5,299,000, the property combines existing income, substantial infrastructure, private river frontage, recreational amenities and multiple potential future uses.
The ranch currently generates income from two licensed outdoor cannabis cultivation operations, residential rentals and an established Hipcamp camping business. Seller reports 2026 cannabis lease income of approximately $130,000 annually, with farm lessees responsible for cultivation-related operating expenses including licensing, grow taxes, electricity, labor and security. The property also includes a 3-bedroom rental residence generating $2,000 per month and a mobile home generating $700 per month. Hipcamp revenue totaled $21,387 through August 18, 2026, with seller-projected full-year revenue of approximately $24,500.
The approximately 55-acre Upper Parcel lies within the Wilseyville Community Area identified in the Calaveras County General Plan. Prior conceptual planning has explored residential development on this portion of the property. Buyers should independently verify zoning, density, utility capacity, entitlement requirements and development feasibility with Calaveras County and applicable agencies.
Existing improvements include a 3,400± SF, 4-bedroom, 4-bath primary residence overlooking the South Fork of the Mokelumne River; an approximately 1,600 SF, 3-bedroom residence; mobile home; garage/office/shop facilities; RV infrastructure; agricultural improvements; and a newer approximately 3,400 SF metal building on the Middle Parcel with water and substantial electrical service.
Electrical infrastructure is extensive. The primary residence has 200-amp service and a 19 kW rooftop solar system with 35 panels, grid-connected through PG&E. The Upper Parcel has three 200-amp services, totaling 600 amps of service distributed among the residence, well, agricultural operations, RV areas and support buildings. The Middle Parcel metal shop has 200-amp service, with seller reporting an additional shared 400-amp service available to the shop or grow tiers. Seller also reports three-phase overhead power is available near the entrance for potential future service, subject to utility verification.
Strange Ranch includes approximately 1,855 linear feet of private access to both sides of the South Fork Mokelumne River, providing swimming, fishing, hiking, gold panning and other recreational opportunities. The riverfront portions of the ranch offer exceptional privacy and are adjacent to substantial BLM-managed open space.
The property contains three historic gold mines, and seller states that all owned mineral rights are included in the offering. Historic mining features, river recreation and the existing camping operation provide an unusual foundation for potential hospitality, eco-tourism, retreat or recreational uses.
The property is served by multiple wells and septic systems. Public water and wastewater service have also been explored historically in connection with prior residential-development concepts. Previous Calaveras County Water District correspondence dates to 2006–2007 and should be considered historical; any future connections, capacity or development approvals must be independently confirmed.
Potential future concepts previously explored by ownership include residential development, expanded camping and glamping, cabins or cottages, wellness and retreat uses, events, agritourism and destination hospitality. These concepts are conceptual only and subject to applicable zoning, environmental review, permitting and governmental approvals.
Strange Ranch offers an unusual combination of existing income, 117± acres, private river access, residences, significant electrical and water infrastructure, historic gold mines, mineral rights, agricultural operations and long-term development potential—all within California's Sierra Nevada foothills.
