Ridge-top views, abundant water, and room to build your legacy. Stand on the ridgeline and take in sweeping views of Clear Lake, the surrounding mountains, and golden California light. This rare offering spans approximately 700 acres across three combined parcels, a true blank canvas for the right steward. The land offers exceptional variety: open grazing meadows, tillable ground for farming, timbered draws, and private ridgelines ideal for a cabin, off-grid compound, multi-generational home, or recreational retreat. Up to three building sites may be possible on the west side of the ridge (buyer to verify intended uses and development potential). Water is the standout. Gilbert Creek winds through the property, along with seven natural springs, a seasonal pond, and the site of a former spring-fed homestead. Bordering BLM and Forest Service land, the ranch offers natural privacy while staying minutes from Clearlake, Hwy 20, Upper Lake, and Nice. Kelseyville is about 20 minutes away and Konocti Casino about 30. The property is roughly two hours from the Golden Gate Bridge, under two hours from the Mendocino Coast, and connects easily via Hwy 20 to I-5, Sacramento, and South Lake Tahoe. You could run cattle, grow crops, build a private hunting and hiking retreat or glamping getaway, or create a gathering place for generations. Land of this size, water, and character rarely comes to market.

End of the year special. Owners of this 700 acre playground have not even been to the property in 8 years. They want this in escrow before the end of the year so now is the chance to take advantage of the opportunity. The 3 large parcels have separate legal descriptions and the 2 small lots provide legal access and access to power. There was a dwelling on it once using a developed spring for water. Seasonal pond, Gilbert Creek runs through the middle of it, incredible lake views, and potential building sites for all 3 large parcels on the west side of Hogback Ridge above Nice. Roads and trails all over it and it borders BLM and Forest Service land. Some old growth timber on the NE side of Hogback, there is a little bit of everything on this ranch. Roads are a bit challenging due to lack of maintenance, but when the roads are taken care of this property has a lot of potential.
