The iconic J Bar S Ranch is located in inland Mendocino County on Highway 20 between Lake Mendocino and Blue Lakes, offering a unique opportunity to own what the locals call The Buffalo Ranch. The Lawson family originally purchased a portion of the current ranch back in 1966, and acquired neighboring lands over the years to incorporate the approximate 743 +/- acres of beautiful oak woodlands that has been home to a herd of Buffalo for over 40 years! Comprised of 8 legal parcels, this gem of a ranch offers an elegant home that measures over 6,800 square feet, two other single family residences, a finished apartment over one of the shops, a retail bison meat store, and event center with living quarters and commercial kitchen. Multiple barns and shops are strategically located around the ranch supporting the agricultural aspect of the incredible property. The extensive road system allows a person to comfortably travel to the majority of the ranch, which is fenced and cross fenced. Very large springs supply water to the pond located in front of the event center and to the 5 large concrete water storage tanks that bring water to many areas of the ranch. The ranch is a wildlife sanctuary offering deer, pigs, turkey, quail, dove and waterfowl in the pond along with a very large population of bass and catfish!
