Land for Sale in Covelo, California

Spanning approximately 2,933 contiguous acres in Covelo's Round Valley, this exceptional ranch offers a rare combination of scale, productive agricultural land, abundant water resources, and outstanding recreational value. The ranch includes approximately 1,100 acres of pasture, with 300-400 acres historically flood irrigated by an agricultural artesian well, plus an additional 600 acres of historically dry-farmed ground. The balance consists of open grazing land, oak woodlands, and rolling upland terrain. A year-to-year cattle lease provides current income potential. Water is a defining feature of the property, with artesian and agricultural wells, ponds, stock reservoirs, seasonal creeks, springs, and seeps distributed throughout the ranch. These resources support livestock operations, enhance grazing capacity, and provide excellent wildlife habitat. Improvements are well suited for an active ranching operation and include perimeter and cross fencing, an extensive internal road system, multiple access points, a ranch residence, large entertainment barn, horse barn, hay barn, shop, equipment storage buildings, and additional support structures. A private airstrip provides convenient on-site access. The ranch is located in one of Northern California's premier hunting regions and supports populations of Columbian blacktail deer, wild pig, black bear, turkey, waterfowl, upland game birds, and seasonal elk. Previously enrolled in California's Private Lands Management (PLM) program, the property historically benefited from significant tag allocations and may offer future re-enrollment opportunities. The ranch has not been professionally hunted in recent years, preserving its long-term recreational potential. The combination of productive pasture, diverse habitat, extensive water resources, and significant infrastructure creates a unique opportunity for ranching, recreation, hunting, and conservation. With its scale, privacy, and natural beauty, the property is equally suited as a working cattle ranch, family retreat, hunting destination, or long-term legacy holding. Large, contiguous ranches with this level of water, usability, infrastructure, and recreational appeal are increasingly difficult to find. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of Round Valley's significant landholdings.
