This prestigious 340 acre ranch (part of a $13M ranch of 1,370 acres) is one of the premier scenic properties west of the Rockies. Nestled into the Sierra Nevada foothills at the western boundary of Sequoia National Park, its gently rolling terrain is primarily grassland and oak, with many large manzanita, buckeye and sycamore; the sycamore inhabit shaded ravines that follow creeks and streambeds.

On the upper part of the property a thirty foot solid rock waterfall cascades into a small pool at its base before running downstream into the Kaweah River. Since the Kaweah was the historic home of the Yokut and Wukchumni tribes, centuries old acorn grinding holes are found in several locations across the ranch, but mainly in large flat solid granite outcrops and boulders along the river’s edge.

Wildlife abounds; nearly every species indigenous to the Sierra foothills can be found here. The ranch is entirely fenced, with two sides bounded by BLM and Sequoia National Park land; the main fork of the Kaweah River roughly traces the third side up to the highway. Frontage on the Kaweah is over half a mile, with several swimming holes, including one with a white sand beach, a sheer rock cliff and a large deep pool with slight current. During spring run off, the river is mostly white water with well known class 3 & 4 rapids.

Well maintained gravel roads provide access to several superb building sites, most of which have un-obstructed views of famous Moro Rock and the high snow capped peaks along the Western Divide. Alta Peak at nearly 11,000 feet, figures prominently in this sweeping and peerless panorama. A small but elegant cabin is situated near this powerful well.

The ranch includes a covered workshop and equipment storage facility well removed from the building sites. Two tractors (a Case 580k backhoe and a track driven Allis Chalmers HD6), a 9 cubic foot mobile cement mixer and a 30 gallon towed spray unit stay with the ranch ownership transfers. Most importantly, Double Eagle Ranch has been preserved for perpetuity by a conservation easement which nevertheless allows the construction of three residences and accompanying outbuildings.

WATER & UTILITIES: One building site, perhaps the best of them, has a well and has been prepared for underground electrical service. There are two other wells on the ranch; one of them very productive at over 200 gallons per minute. In addition, two ponds have been created, one of which is fed by water diverted from a Southern California Edison flume that passes through the property, the other of which is fed by natural runoff.
