The access to this Knights Valley 257± Acre Ranch is through its own private gate off Highway 128. It has a mile long private driveway winding through the center of the parcel past its hobby vineyard to where the owner’s family home had been built back in 1963 overlooking the pond. The drive was paved in the 1970’s. The pond was built in the summer of 1963 and was originally 25 feet deep. For decades the pond had been stocked with Bass and Sunfish.

In addition to the mile-long private driveway, there are miles of old logging roads in good condition that wind their way throughout the property giving access to 4 additional ways to exit the property through adjacent properties aside from its main gated driveway. All of these can be driven with the listing agent Doug Swanson as part of your property tour.
