19320 State Highway 89 , Markleeville, CA 96120(Alpine County)

As you enter the property through the mighty timber gates, you’ll be greeted by the charming love shack,’ a rustic cabin with bunk beds. Just outside, a brick-laden outdoor eating area features a stone-crafted fireplace and BBQ, perfect for a delicious meal after a long day of work or summer cookouts gathering with family/friends. As you venture deeper into the property, you’ll be captivated by the expansive green meadow and ponds, where the recently expanded 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom modular home with an oversized four-car garage sits nestled. The entire property generates enough solar power to be completely off the grid, with a backup propane generator and a 1,000-gallon propane tank for extra peace of mind.

Enviable water throughout the ranch with over 794 acre-feet of surface water rights from year-round Randall Springs Creek and Indian Creek. Additional water on the property includes springs, ponds, and two ag wells in the meadow pastures. These water resources support a total of 300 irrigated acres, with an additional 50 acres benefiting from sub-irrigation. The abundant irrigated pastures support about 159 yearlings and 10 bulls seasonally with a cattle lease in place.

Ranch infrastructure consists of a tack room, corrals, a loading chute, and perimeter fencing with cross-fencing. The newly constructed metal shop, with a concrete floor, three roll-up doors, and one man door, provides plenty of storage for equipment or outdoor recreational toys. As a bonus, the John Deere tractor, Bush Hog, generators, and additional handy ranch implements within the shop are included.

Plenty of room to roam on the ranch for horseback riding, fishing, and hunting with wildlife in abundance. For world-renowned year-round outdoor recreation, Lake Tahoe is a short drive away. Like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, the sellers have significantly invested in reforestation, having planted over 30,000 trees on the ranch. These new seedlings have already started to renew and breathe new life into the forest.

If the mountains are calling, come home to Davis Ranch. The property is also enrolled in the Williamson Act for lower property taxes.
