    Description

    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. The ranch has served as a hub for both Livestock and Timber production for close to a century. 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. Words can only begin to capture the essence of this property. A personal tour is essential to fully grasp its virtues.

      "Living in Brooktrails can be difficult, 10 min drive to town, not safe to walk or ride bikes on Sherwood Rd and no safe alternative. While houses and rent may seem less than in town, utilities are high."

      "Brooktrails has had a checkered past - pot growers took over homes abandoned after the bubble burst and trashed a lot of places. But its coming back. Housing costs are at rock bottom - if you're looking for a great price on a home in the redwoods, this is the place. The town, Willits, is as friendly and engaging as any town I've ever been to. We're looking for our retirement home here, and have no doubt we'll find it."
