You will feel like you own your own ranch in the heart of the Old West
This rental is a very unique and limited opportunity. The ranch will be available for one month only this summer. Only one family or group will be able to take advantage of this offer.
The ranch is in the heart of the Old West with numerous rivers and lakes nearby. The McCloud river (45 min.), The Upper Sacramento (15 min.), The Klamath (45 min.), the Trinity River (45 min.),the Pit River and Hat Creek (about one hour). Our on-site ponds abound in trophy size trout. A gin clear, spring creek, full of trout runs for 1 3/4 miles through the property. While extremely private, the ranch is less than five minutes from Interstate 5, and 10 minutes from the Weed airport.
If you want a secluded, and beautiful home base from which to explore Northern California and Southern Oregon this is an excellent venue.
The house lies at the end of a mile long private country road. This secluded mountain valley provides spectacular views in all directions. I often sit outside with a cup of tea or cold drink and watch the views and wildlife for hours. If you are an artist or bird watcher you will be captivated. The lighting is fantastic.
Heinz is the ranch host. He is friendly and a delight to have about. He will shop, cook and clean up for you most evenings. He grinds and brews fresh coffee in the morning to be served with your breakfast.
If you prefer total privacy Heinz will stay elsewhere and provide limited service, if scheduled. This option frees up another bedroom. I prefer him at the house helping with meals, shopping, cleaning and more importantly just good company. My wife prefers total privacy but with Heinz cooking the occasional meal. You Choose.
A small cattle operation is run by a local cowboy who is also a policeman in town. His occasional presence will guard your privacy and add a layer of security. Both Bill (the policeman/cowboy) and Heinz know the area very well and can provide excellent information about the regions extensive recreational opportunities.
There is a newly remodled main bathroom and a limited "1/2" bathroom.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1997
To own a trout fishing property has always been my dream. I never expected to find such a perfect location. I am an engineering consultant and expert witness. The Residual job stress melts away with each day at the ranch. While I have traveled the world, no place is more relaxing than a stay here at the ranch. I am married with three kids. My family loves our ranch vacations. We live in Southern California in the mountains above Santa Barbara. In the winters we come to the ranch to ski and board at Mount Shasta Ski Park, less than 30 minutes away.
Why the Owner Chose Edgewood
Siskiyou county is at the heart of one of the best fishing, hiking and biking areas in the world. The air is clean and the sky blue. This area still holds the flavor or the Old American West. The small town honesty and hospitality are reminiscent of the values upon which the country was founded. If you want to get away from the stress of everyday life this is the place.
The Unique Benefits of this Ranch House
Seclusion and solitude prevail in a natural setting with the convenience of a town and Interstate freeway nearby. Crater Lake, Lava Beds National Monument and numerous other natural wonders make convenient day trips. This ranch is perfect for the family that loves the natural outdoors but wants to sleep comfortably indoors. Nearby museums and antique stores reflect the mystique of our American frontier days. The nearby town of Weed was established as a logging town. Other nearby towns sprang up with the great California gold rush.
