As Mark Twain wisely observed, "Buy land, they're not making it anymore.'' In an era defined by growth and change, Fall Run Ranch stands as a rare constant, 3,133 acres of enduring land positioned for those who think not only in years, but in generations. This is more than a ranch, it is a legacy landscape where water, land, and stewardship converge to create lasting value. Ideally located just 1.65 miles north of the Lincoln, CA Regional Airport and a 45-minute drive from Sacramento in thriving Placer County, Fall Run Ranch balances accessibility with permanence. The ranch boasts 6.75 CFS of irrigation water from the Nevada Irrigation District, enough to irrigate 771 acres, nearly 2.5 miles of year-round Raccoon Creek, established water rights, vernal pools, and three year-round storage ponds teeming with waterfowl. Anchored in working agriculture, the improvements include four homes, barns, four feeding barns, an equipment barn with dual roll-up doors, equipment sheds, an electrified shop with concrete floors, and multiple historic outbuildings. Comprehensive livestock facilities, including corrals, loading chutes, perimeter and cross-fencing, position the ranch for continued operational success. As one of the fastest-growing regions in California, the surrounding landscape continues to evolve, yet this ranch is safeguarded by a conservation easement ensuring it remains an open, working agricultural property in perpetuity. An exceptional opportunity to create your legacy, featuring 57.14 acres of designated building envelopes under a flexible conservation easement including 20 acres for a future boutique livestock processing facility, along with multiple existing and future homesites. Significant investments have been made such as a massive clean-up effort, extensive riparian area fencing, removal of dams and diversions out of Raccoon Creek, development of numerous off-creek stockwater facilities, and removal of a defunct 80-acre orchard that has been restored to natural pasture. There are numerous riparian restoration opportunities along with additional vernal pool habitat north of Raccoon Creek being evaluated. Fall Run Ranch is more than acreage - it is enduring ground with a future as strong as its past. It is a rare opportunity to acquire and steward a legacy property. In a rapidly expanding region of California, this ranch stands as a protected agricultural stronghold - a place to build, to produce, to gather, and to pass forward.
