Incredible water rights out of Stony Creek, almost free water on this 626 +/- acre cattle ranch between Elk Creek and Stonyford.

The underground siphon pipeline goes about 3.3 miles from the ranch to the intake on stoney creek. Using a vacuum pump, the irrigation right provides water to flood irrigate about 100 acres of prime grazing ground. “We simply have more water than we can use!” The remaining property can be used for dry land grazing, development, hunting and recreation.

The ranch is fenced and cross fenced, with 5 ponds not only for stock water but also supporting waterfowl habitat. The largest pond has bass and crappie.

The owner runs around 100 pairs for the season. Although the property is not being used for hay production, there is potential with some development. Ranch allotment is over 850-acre feet. Water is not a problem!

The ranch headquarters offers two homes. The owner’s cabin is a three bedroom, two bath single story with open beam great room, consisting of kitchen, dining area and living space. Both sides of home open to covered patios for outdoor enjoyment. Capturing amazing views of the ranch and mountains.

The second home is used by the ranch manager and offers two bedrooms and two baths.

The ranch has a new metal shop with concrete floor and 220 power, equipment storage barn plus a pole barn. 2 corrals on property, the headquarters corral has new pipe fencing with loading chute set up for cattle shipping and delivery.

Abundant wildlife including deer, turkey, pig, quail and waterfowl.

Located near excellent trout fishing in Stony Creek as well as nearby East Park and Stony Gouge Reservoirs. The ranch lays at the base of the Black Diamond Range in the Indian Valley and borders thousands of acres of BLM land to the west, crossing the EEL River and into Lake Pilsbury covering hundreds of miles of canyons and valleys. Amazing hunting, recreation and exploring. Just open the back gate and make your own memories.
