 Irrigation Water

Irrigation water to the ranch is supplied by water from nearby Butte Creek.  Controlled by the Butte Valley Irrigation District, the ranch is entitled to an adjudicated one-third share of the creek’s water flow.  The diversion from the creek, located on a neighboring property, flows through a canal into the ranch feeding several ponds and irrigation ditches throughout the property.  One of these ponds provides water to the pivot system.

 Water Rights

The ranch has a one-third water right from nearby Butte Creek.  The 320 miner inches of deeded water supplies irrigation water to the ranch through a series of ditches.

 Wells

The ranch has four wells, both domestic and irrigation. One domestic well serves both homes and the metal shop.  One of the irrigation wells (2000 GPM) is used when the surface water goes dry.  The remaining two wells are capped and not used.

 Cattle Lease

The ranch currently has a cattle lease for most of the acreage.  The lease generates $20,000 of income for the owner.
