Welcome to Big Signal Ranch. Located just three hours north of the Bay Area, this 160 acre ranch offers stunning privacy and natural beauty in Mendocino County. Set on a hilltop meadow surrounded by ancient oak, fir, and pine, the ranch features two spring-fed ponds, hillside springs, and borders Thomas Creek, a tributary of the Eel River. The property is abundant in wildlife including bear, elk, turkey, quail, and pigs along with blacktail deer. The access to game hunting and trout/steelhead fishing make this an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. Bordered on three sides by Mendocino National Forest with direct access to 11,000 acres of the Sanhedrin Wilderness, the ranch provides unmatched seclusion and recreation opportunity across tens of thousands of acres. The charming 1,800 sq ft 3 bedroom 1.5 bathroom farmhouse has been tastefully updated while preserving its vintage character with a picturesque wraparound deck. A gravity-fed spring supplies water to the home, and a solar energy system ensures self-sufficient, off-grid living. A large pole barn offers ample space for equipment or hay storage. Whether you're seeking a getaway recreation property or a self-reliant homestead, this rare offering delivers the space, solitude and setting to make your vision a reality.
