Gentle Valley Ranch is a dream retirement home and ranch or vineyard estate in inland Mendocino County . The primary dwelling, a unique genuine 2,888 square foot fir log home, was made from logs felled, barked, aged and hand-crafted on the property. There are also a guest house/cabin, caretaker house and many superb view sites.
• 160 Acres ± in four parcels, zoned R-40 (per assessor)

This property is mostly level to gently sloping with some heavily wooded portions on transition slopes. A trial vineyard is planted with sixty indigenous variety grape vines. A brush cleared approx. 2-Acre site with prime Southern exposure is ready to develop as a solar farm.
Utilities in place include grid electricity and land-line telephone service. A 95’ deep household well provides bountiful drinking water. Two 200’ deep ag wells are rated at 60 gpm flow by drilling contractor. Three creeks are on the property: Ten Mile Creek on the eastern boundary, Big Rock Creek flowing through the valley, and a seasonal creek with all-year pond supplied by several springs.
The new owner’s vision following approval by agencies involved might potentially include an expanded vineyard, large solar array, timber harvest, irrigated farming and additional structures for residential and ranching use.
