Historical ranch property located in the center of Dunlap. This prime 140 acres is part of the historical Sans Baker ranch and has been under the same ownership for over 100 years. This property consists of 2 contiguous parcels, 20 acres and 120 acres, and is located less than mile from the Dunlap School.
The 20 acre parcel has more than mile of frontage on Ruth Hill Road and is the location of the original Dunlap School in the late 1800's. This parcel has nearly level terrain with a creek running through the entire length of the property to the north where it joins Mill Creek. The creek drains a major area south of the property and has water flowing a significant portion of the year. This is excellent land that is mostly open with a nice mix of mature oaks and willows.
The 20 acres adjoins the 120 acres on the west giving the larger parcel direct access to Ruth Hill Road with an additional access to Dunlap Road on the east. Mill Creek, the major stream in the area, runs from east to west for over mile through the property with 40% of the land north of the stream and 60% of the land on the south side. The south side has active electricity plus a well and pump. The north side has electric service available. The entire property has underground telephone. The Mill Creek frontage is spectacular with some nice falls and a swimming hole that has been used by generations of kids. This stream has a native trout population with a bit of placer gold mining in the past. Most of the terrain is very gentle to lightly rolling with the northern portion at a higher elevation than the southern portion. There is easy access to the northern portion off of the Dunlap Road access point.
This is a one of a kind offering of a historical property with outstanding land that supports a variety of wildlife including deer, wild turkey, quail, dove, and a host of others. All of the property is zoned AE, an agricultural zoning which allows a variety of animal and farming uses. Additionally, all of the property lies within the Squaw Valley - Miramonte AVA (American Viticulture Area), a federally registered wine grape growing district. Here's the reality. The original settlers grabbed the best land and held on to it. This piece hasn't been available since the 1800's. Don't pass it by, this opportunity only comes once.
