650 Tuledad Rd - Dodge Ranch 23,600 Acres of Agricultural Land Offered at $29,950,000 in Ravendale, CA 96123

Dodge Ranch is one of the largest remaining ranches in California, with 111 assessor’s parcels totaling 23,600 deeded acres and 224,971 acres of federal grazing allotments, spanning approximately twenty square miles on the Madeline Plains, east of the unincorporated community of Ravendale, California. Currently, the ranch produces organic alfalfa on approximately 3,700 irrigated acres. Fourteen quality Nelson bubbler pivots deliver most of the water to the crop, and all but five of the pivots were installed new within the last five years. The holding consists of four ranches: Horn Ranch, Marr Ranch, Evans Ranch, and Dodge Ranch (the property’s headquarters). A summary of the property’s structures includes five houses, a duplex, two bunkhouses, a guest house, four corrals/stables, five storage shed/barn buildings, a mechanic’s shop, a seed shop, and several additional structures dedicated to ranch operations. The ranch is supplied with water through a system that includes over 20 wells, a series of canals, pipelines, lift pumps, culverts, and ponds, and the rights to abundant surface water from Dodge Reservoir and Buckhorn Reservoir. In addition, several creeks and smaller irrigation reservoirs exist, and there is an opportunity to capture more water from snow melt and other sources to expand cropland. Surprise Valley Electric provides the ranch with some of the least expensive electric power in the state of California. It delivers electricity with 19 miles of three-phase electric poles and over five miles of underground power lines. Solar power systems serve some of the homes. The 224,971 acres of BLM’s Observation Grazing Allotment surrounds or is adjacent to the Dodge Ranch parcels and are leased for grazing approximately 4,452 AUMs through 2031. The BLM land includes several naturally occurring water resources for livestock.
