Biaggi Ranch
The historic Biaggi Ranch is situated on Mendocino’s pristine coast between the coastal hamlets of Manchester and Elk. In the same family since 1938, a ranch of this caliber rarely comes to market. Comprising of over 1540 acres, the ranch rises from almost sea level rolling grassland pasture to over 1600 feet elevation with towering redwood forests. Intermixed in this diverse topography are lush mountain meadows, spring fed draws and building sites with big, unobstructed coastal views south to Point Arena’s lighthouse and north to Irish Beach and west across the Pacific as far as the eye can see. Historically the ranch has run sheep and diary stock with the occasional grain crop being cultivated on the ranch’s western flats. Since the 1970’s, however, the ranch has been utilized more as a beef operation running between 80-100 cows. Throughout its history, the Biaggi Ranch’s forest has proved to be a sustainable and reliable resource providing split rail fencing, railroad ties, shake, lumber and tan oak bark from the late 1800’s thru the mid-late 1900’s at which time the ranch’s focused changed to longer term forestry practices that stressed sustainability, yield and quality while preserving the ecological integrity of the ranch. The ranch has an estimated +25 million board foot of timber with roughly that split 50%-50% between Redwood and Douglas Fir with a small amount of White Fir. There is a NTMP in place. This timber stand is a significant resource allowing the new owner many opportunities including sustainable harvesting, carbon credit banking, conservation easement potential or a combination of all three. Besides the ranch’s economic attributes, the ranch affords an immense recreational potential. There is a well maintained road and trail system throughout the ranch that allow access to almost all points and could double as equestrian and ATV trails. The ranch plays host to a number of different species including Blacktail Deer, wild turkey, mountain and valle
