The Preston Ranch, 20 miles north of Willits in scenic Mendocino County, boasts a rich history spanning over 35 years within the same family. This 6860 acres showcases miles of breathtaking Eel River frontage, complemented by its adjacency to nearly 10,000 acres of BLM and State Lands.

Its diverse terrain showcases picturesque high ground meadows, abundantly stocked timberlands, and a network of springs and perennial streams that weave through the landscape. Adding to its allure, the property boasts remnants of its past, including an old airstrip atop the mountain and several charming homesteads scattered throughout. The land proudly partners with the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, ensuring its natural splendor endures for generations to come. The agreement includes provisions for 7 residual development rights. The ranch is also a candidate for participation in Carbon Sequestration Programs. Completing the offering is a quaint hunting cabin nestled near the river, complete with modern amenities such as running water, septic, and solar electric.
