One-third of the property, or 684± acres, has over 15,000 board
feet per acre, with opportunity to undertake some thinning in
order to increase growth and productivity. Sixty-four percent,
or 17,700± MBF of the Tree Farm, is Douglas-fir and thirty-six
percent, or 9,900± MBF, is redwood. North Coast Resource
Management (NCRM), as forest manager for the Seller, has
updated a 2008 inventory and has prepared a 20-year growth
projection, all available in the Supplemental Information
Package. NCRM has projected an annual growth rate of 5.1%
and has also projected that within the next ten years, the total
Douglas-fir and redwood volume will increase to 42,300±
MBF, or an average of 22,000± board feet per acre. NCRM has
projected that redwood volume will increase to 13,700± MBF
and Douglas-fir to 28,600± MBF.
The increased growth and productivity of the South Rancheria
Creek Tree Farm is due in part to the well-stocked 50- to
70-year-old age class of both Douglas-fir and redwood, along
with nearly 50% of the Tree Farm having north-aspect-facing
slopes. The tract is a Site Class III.
There is a total of 18.5± miles of mostly-rocked logging roads
which provide access throughout the property. Additionally, a
rock source is located on the property. Cable logging systems
will be required for the majority of the tract. Access to the
tree farm is from Mountain View Road, via an easement.
Additional easements provide access to the southwest section
of the property.
There are no active THPs on the property. There is an owl activity area located near Horse Creek that
North Coast Resource Management has been monitoring.

The Tree Farm’s location, near the Anderson Valley and Boonville, with proximity to the San Francisco
Bay Area, provides opportunity to develop a legacy private family retreat on the 1,942± acre property.
There are a number of excellent sites for development of a lodge and cabins with views, all having
