This ranch consists of approximately 200 acres in 3 parcels. Apn 528-060-01-00, 80 acres, apn 528-030-05-00, 39.69 acres & 528-030-04-00, 80 acres. It has been a cattle ranch since it was patented/homestead by Henry J. McCain in the 1890’s. The ranch showcases magnificent views with rocky hills, ancient oaks & much sought after, perpetual green pastures. This is one of the few remaining ranches in San Diego County that contains that beautiful “bottom land” perfect for grazing. This ranch includes an old-fashioned working windmill, water well & storage tank. There are several naturally sealed underground springs providing water to fenced upper and lower pastures, water troughs for cattle & horses and wildlife such as deer, quail, dove that frequent the ranch. A potable water tank provides drinking water to the family campground area that includes a fire pit, restroom & tables situated amongst ancient oaks providing shade for family and friends. Just off the pasture is an amazing working corral erected on the very same footprint the original McCain corral stood, except today it has fortified beams and cross ties imported from Canada. There are 2 wide access gates that allow easy round up of your livestock. At approximately 100 ft in diameter with a center post that stands 5’ above the ground and 7’ below the ground, this corral will outlive several generations. Less than one mile off McCain Valley Rd. behind locked gates in North McCain Valley.
