Nestled in a high mountain plateau above the pristine Eel River Watershed is the headquarters of Mendocino’s Big Signal Ranch. From the front door of the beautifully restored Farmhouse one can gaze northwest out over this awe inspiring landscape with the realization that what lies in this vista is one of California’s most critical ecosystems. Turning one’s gaze to the northeast is Big Signal Peak itself which hovers over the Ranch enfolding the same into its protective fold. Connecting these two vistas in a symbiotic relationship is Thomas Creek that’s runs from the high mountains through the Ranch to flow into the Eel River and out into the Pacific.
The Ranch consists of 1079 acres varying from oak strewn hills to thick timber stands to gentle and naturally irrigated high mountain pasture. Besides Thomas Creek there are numerous water attributes including a multitude of year round and seasonal creeks, two spring fed ponds and several springs. All these attributes lend themselves to creating natural sanctuary wherein wildlife abounds including Blacktail Deer, Black Bear, Wild Hog, Wild Turkey, Mountain Lion, Bobcat, Blue Grouse, Mountain and Valley Quail, etc.. Furthering this perimeters of this sanctuary is the fact that the Ranch is surrounded on three sides by the Sanhedrin Wilderness Area and the fourth side by other Federal Land. Allowing the new owner access to tens of thousands acres that would other see be difficult if not impossible to access.
The infrastructure of the Ranch has been improved upon and maintained by the current Owners. Good taste and function seems to be the prevailing theme. The tastefully restored Farmhouse is fitting and appropriate for its surroundings exuding a sense of nostalgia without the burdens of the same - the house is entirely self-sufficient with gravity fed spring water flowing through its pipes and solar power providing all its electrical demands. Across the field sits what must be one of the best restored pole barns in Northern California. Walking into its stately interior and looking up in wonders at this architectural masterpiece is reminiscent of walking into a grand cathedral.
The Ranch is at the end of a private year round road behind a number of locked gates and there are no easements transversing the property. There are a series of seasonal interior road and trail networks on the property and many more that could be developed.
The Ranch is steeped in history. The Ranch originally was known as the Lierly Ranch and between 1884 to approximately 1925 was as a resort catering to the “social set” from San Francisco. Aside from the main Farmhouse there were various cabins and tents where up to 75 guest could put up for extended stays to hunt, fish and to generally relax and enjoy the outdoors. The Lierly Resort was renowned for its musically inclined hosts and their wonderful home cooked meals that were sourced entirely from the Ranch. The original farm to table. One can still see the remnants of the orchards, corrals and cultivated fields and imagine the vitality this place must have had in that era. There was another tale, though, that resonated for years. Apparently some time in the 1880s the infamous highwayman Black Bart stayed here undetected making splashing appearance amongst the guest. It was not until weeks later when he was arrested north of the Ranch that his true identity was revealed.
