About this home
Set on 12 fully fenced acres in Penn Valley, 13598 Desperado Dr is a rare, well-improved ranch property offering exceptional versatility, abundant water, and multiple living options. The land is thoughtfully laid out with rolling pasture, irrigated areas, gravel pathways throughout, multiple scenic settings, and elevated hilltop views overlooking the property. Four primary structures serve the property. A charming two-story historical cabin dating back to the 1900s offers 4 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a laundry room, and approximately 1,432 square feet of living space, rich with character and a true sense of history. A nicely remodeled manufactured home provides an additional residence with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, and approximately 700 square feet ideal for guests, extended family, caretakers, or rental use. Electrical service is in place to both homes, creating flexibility for independent or shared living arrangements. A historic barn has been converted into a functional chicken coop, and an additional covered storage structure supports agricultural and equipment needs. The property is fully equipped for livestock and currently supports cattle, featuring multiple fenced enclosures, two gated access points, and infrastructure designed for active ranch operations. A massive, fully fenced garden area sits near the chicken coop and includes water access and multiple planter boxes, ideal for large-scale gardening or homestead use. Water resources are a standout feature, including a very high-producing well, a second well that is currently capped, generous NID water rights, and multiple ponds. The property includes a large pond, an additional pond located within a livestock enclosure, and a seasonal pond below the historic cabin, providing both utility and scenic beauty. Two septics and two propane tanks are in place, offering added capacity and future flexibility. This is a rare opportunity to own a productive, private, and well-improved ranch property just minutes from town, combining rural self-sufficiency with convenience and long-term potential.
