Heinz Ranch

Located on the peninsula of Honey Lake, just under three miles west of Herlong, CA, and a convenient one-hour drive north from the thriving Greater Reno-Sparks-Tahoe area, lies the expansive Heinz Ranch spanning 10,129.82 ± acres in the historically rich Honey Lake Valley of Lassen County. This vast high desert landscape sits at a 4,000 ft elevation, where the Great Basin, the Cascades, and the Sierra Mountains all come together. The property boasts a Honey Lake frontage and approximately a mile of Long Valley Creek. Honey Lake, a basin lake, offers great waterfowl and upland bird hunting opportunities depending on rainfall. Additionally, the land is great for horseback riding and off-road ATVing. The resident herd of antelope and a couple of wild horses add to the unique charm of this recreational playground. Currently, there is an annual grazing lease with a local rancher. The majority of property benefits from the Williamson Act, ensuring reduced property taxes.
