Roger Riley Ranch, one of the last remaining cattle ranches in Contra Costa County has been listed for sale. The 500-acre cattle ranch is an ode to a time long ago when cattle outnumbered people on the wide-open California East Bay rangelands.
Listing agent Todd Renfrew of California Outdoor Properties said, “You’ll be hard pressed to find a serene ranch property of this magnitude and uniqueness so easily accessible to many cities in California’s East Bay and San Francisco.”
The homestead consists of a 2,037 sq. foot home with an attached two-car garage and private well. Outbuildings include a 2,550 sq. ft. horse barn, 1,008 sq. ft. storage barn with concrete floors, and an additional detached two-car garage.
Seasonal creeks and pond, coupled with a developed natural spring with a gravity-fed holding tank, provide ample year-round supply of one of California’s most precious commodities, water, for grazing livestock and property landscaping. Two undeveloped springs exist on the property as well. There is a cattle lease in place on the property, presenting an additional income-generating opportunity for the new owner.
List price is $6,999,000.
