Discover a truly one-of-a-kind legacy property at Hough Springs Ranch, an expansive historic ranch set in the heart of Lake County, California. Dating back to the 1880s, this remarkable property began as a remote mineral springs resort and once operated its own post office from 1882 to 1892. Owned by the Bartels brothers, the resort welcomed up to 150 guests in a grand hotel, cottages, and tent accommodations before multiple fires including a major blaze in 1934 brought the original structures to an end. Today, the ranch still tells its story through visible remnants of its past, including a collapsed well, original building foundations, and a majestic olive tree believed to be more than a century old. Spanning approximately 735 acres, the land features gently rolling to flat terrain with open meadows, heritage oak groves, and excellent accessibility throughout. Nearly three miles of the North Fork of Cache Creek wind through the center of the property, including its scenic confluence with Spanish Creek, creating a rare and picturesque natural setting. Surrounded by protected lands, the ranch borders BLM property on three sides and Mendocino National Forest to the north, offering exceptional privacy and limitless exploration. Indian Valley Reservoir lies just one mile away when full, further enhancing the recreational appeal. With abundant acreage, rich history, water features, and unmatched access to outdoor adventure, Hough Springs Ranch is an extraordinary opportunity for ranching, recreation, conservation, or a private retreat in Northern California.
