This nearly 13 acre property boasts a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with many recent upgrades, including a newer roof, HVAC and insulation, Aquapec plumbing throughout the house and apartment/guest house, and new tile on the counter tops, and floors in the kitchen, laundry room, bathroom off the laundry room and the breakfast nook.  The new owned solar system powers the house and guest house.  Besides the domestic well, which has a new well casing and on-demand pressure tank, there is a 450 gpm ag well on its own PG&E meter for irrigating the pastures with large guns.  This is a well-maintained property that has served the retiring owner as Quarter Horse breeding, boarding and foaling facility for almost 25 years.  Don't forget the large barn and shop for hay and equipment storage, the many brood mare enclosures, riding arena, and several irrigated paddocks for horses, cows, or other livestock.  All this and also bordering the South Fork of the Cottonwood Creek for wading, fishing, and miles and miles of horseback riding.  Among the best elementary and junior high schools in Tehama County are only a mile or two away and the ranch is only about 5 miles west of I-5.
