About Rancho Tehama
Located in western Tehama County, the 6,820 acre Carpenter Ranch offers a versatile winter grazing operation just 15 minutes from Red Bluff and Corning. This is a prime opportunity for a cattleman looking to eliminate daily feeding requirements during the winter months, with the added potential for hunting income in a private, accessible setting. The ranch has a carrying capacity of 450500 head from December through mid-May. The usable grassland is divided into seven fields for rotational grazing and includes steel working corrals with semi-truck access. With frontage along paved county roads, access is easily managed through a limited number of locked gates. Water resources include numerous seasonal stock ponds and three creeks. Elder Creek, the primary water feature, traverses the northern one-third of the property and provides stock water for approximately nine months of the year, supported by deeded riparian rights. To support operations during drier months, the ranch is equipped with a solar-powered well that pumps to a storage tank, which then gravity-feeds a network of troughs across the pastures. In addition to its agricultural value, the ranch offers a private recreational setting with views of Mount Shasta and Mount Lassen. The mix of open rangeland and native blue oaks supports black-tailed deer, wild pig, coyote, turkey, quail, dove, ducks, and geese, providing on-site hunting opportunities. Miles of internal roads and trails allow for easy access by ATV or horseback.
