Whether you are a rancher looking for a new place, or someone looking to leave the city for the serenity of the foothills, you will find what you're looking for here. The house is so unique that you have to see it to understand it. The foundation and walls are built with timbers from the old Raymond Flue, the home is powered by solar, generator, and electricity, the excellent water comes from an artesian well, and the bass for dinner come right out of the lake. A large barn has many ranch related uses, and an oversized garage and workshop keep things in their places. There are two legal parcels (190.56 and 98.16 acres), featuring a lake and at least three stock ponds for cattle or recreation. Cattle do very well on the heavy feed, and since the property is not in the Williamson Act, many other uses are possible. Madera County planning may permit subdividing into parcels as small as 40 acres. Wildlife abounds here, so whether you are a hunter or a camera buff, there is a lot to work with. This type of grazing land usually sells at around $2,500 per acre for bare land. This property is priced significantly less than that and you get a beautiful house and all the rest for free! You simply won't find a better property for the money.
