Welcome to a remarkable 80-acre ranch set along the legendary Smith River, one of the most sought-after river valleys for ranch ownership and recreation. With approximately over 3,000 feet of pristine riverfrontage, this property offers a rare opportunity to create a private riverfront retreat where family and friends can gather, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors for generations. Notably, ownership includes the land beneath the river itself-a highly uncommon feature that adds both value and long-term security to this exceptional holding.A prime homesite sits just steps from the river and includes an established foundation, septic system, and a robust water setup featuring a strong natural spring, complete water system with multiple cisterns—providing a reliable and valuable water source for ranch living and gatherings. Across the cool, clear waters, a dramatic mature forest with cascading waterfalls creates a stunning natural backdrop, complemented by valuable merchantable stands of timber that enhance both the character and long-term value of the land.The expansive acreage provides room to roam, explore, and enjoy the simple pleasures of river life—fishing, rafting, swimming, campfires, and quiet evenings beneath the stars. Existing improvements allow for hosting family and friends comfortably while still preserving the peaceful, authentic ranch atmosphere that makes this area so desirable.This is a rare chance to own a substantial stretch of the Smith River and create a place where memories are made, stories are shared, and time slows down in a truly special setting.The property also includes a newer campground component with existing infrastructure, including bathroom facilities, solar power, internet, propane, and an RV septic dump, with room to expand if desired. This blends seamlessly into the ranch setting and offers flexibility for future use, whether as a private riverside ranch, family legacy property, or thoughtfully designed development.
