One of the oldest ranches in California has just hit the market for $17 million

The AP Ranch in California was established in 1856 in the aftermath of the Gold Rush. It is located in Siskiyou County and is 14,000 acres, roughly the size of Manhattan.

California Outdoor Properties is currently handling the listing and is priced at $16.9 million!

The property includes six historic barns, seven homes, and has water rights on the Scott River.

The Newton family is the most recent owners of the ranch. They purchased it in 1961 and ran cattle.
In a statement, Albert Newton III said: “Over the years, the ranch has hosted everyone from dignitaries and politicians to our kids’ college friends.”
