, Paynes Creek, CA (Tehama County)

This 585 acre ranch is gem of a property. There are five homes which have all been nicely remodeled. The old Lassen lodge, which has its own bar and would make a great fishing and hunting headquarters. This type of property which has frontage on both sides of Battle Creek is quite rare. Battle Creek which is famous for its Chinook Salmon, and Steelhead trout, is fed through springs and snowmelt from the slopes of Mt. Lassen. It is a major tributary of the Sacramento River and two trout filled ponds which are fed by the creek have been created by the owner. Deer stands, habitat improvement, and water development have also been established for this hunt club. If your passion is horses, this ranch is an equestrian dream. There are over 80 acres of flat land that have been designed for an equestrian training center. The 145 ft x 275 ft arena is has a compacted DG base with 4 inches of washed sand. The 110 ft round pen was especially designed for the property and both the arena and round pen have had French drains installed in order to prevent water accumulation in the facilities. There are 12 indoor/outdoor stalls with top of the line automatic waterers, a 58 x 42 ft horse barn, a 42x28 hay barn with a capacity approaching 90 tons and 6 turnout pastures. The ranch sits at an elevation of 4,000 feet, which keeps the ranch cool during the hot Red Bluff Summers, although it's only a short 32 miles into town. If you desire a ranch for fishing, hunting, equestrian pursuits and views to die for, the Battle Creek ranch is for you.
