So, what does a million dollars buy? How about a renovated 1br apartment in San Francisco? Or a garage on Malibu beach? Or a really cool diamond? Or, 12 Bitcoin? Or, you could buy a one-of-a-kind generational property that is an inflation proof long term investment to be enjoyed by you, your children, grandchildren, and generations beyond. This prime 140 acres in the center of Dunlap is part of the historical Sands Baker ranch and has been under the same ownership for over 100 years. It consists of 2 contiguous parcels, 20 acres and 120 acres, and is located less than 1/2 mile from the Dunlap School. What makes it so special? For starters, it has over 1/2 mile of Mill Creek running through the center of it. Mill Creek is the major stream in the area and this property has the swimming hole that generations of kids have used. It also has a native trout population. Next, it has amazing terrain with direct access from 2 county roads and unbelievable natural beauty. (Just check the pictures). And, this property has the site of the first Dunlap School, built in the 1880's. The 20 acre parcel has more than 1/2 mile of frontage on Ruth Hill Road and is the location of the original Dunlap School in the late 1800's. This parcel has nearly level terrain with a creek running through the entire length of the property to the north where it joins Mill Creek. This is excellent land that is mostly open with a nice mix of mature oaks and willows.The 20 acres adjoins the 120 acres on the west giving the larger parcel direct access to Ruth Hill Road with an additional access to Dunlap Road on the east. Mill Creek, the major stream in the area, runs from east to west for over mile through the property with 40% of the land north of the stream and 60% of the land on the south side. The south side has active electricity plus a well and pump. The north side has electric service available. The Mill Creek frontage is spectacular with some nice falls and a swimming hole that has been used by generations of kids. All of the property is zoned AE which allows for any type of animal or farming use. I've been selling land here for more than 50 years. I can honestly say that this is the single best property here. You will be impressed when you see it. The original settlers grabbed the best land and held on to it. This property hasn't been available since the 1800's. What will a $ 1,000,000 buy? More than you think. The seller will consider carrying paper with an acceptable down & terms.
