A destination of balance, the Shambhala Ranch rests advantageously between the inland and coastal landscape of gorgeous Mendocino County, where oak savannah fades to rich Redwood forests creating a perfectly temperate climate.   Located off Orr Springs Rd., one of the area’s most scenic corridors, the land captures viewers' attention with incredible beauty.   
 
Two separate legal parcels combine to create the 140 +/- acre multi-faceted offering, blending diverse forestland with rolling open meadows.  The land expands south of the Big River, where crisp water flows year-round, lending to one of the most attractive features of the offering, a private swimming hole fed by the cascading waterfalls into rock pools beneath a verdant canopy of hardwood and conifers.  Nearly the entire offering is southernly exposed.  Gentle, open glades take on slight elevation revealing unimpacted views of an organic landscape.  Level benches and fertile ground offer prime soils for agriculture. Plentiful water resources consist of an approximately 8-acre foot reservoir, multiple wells, a recreational and domestic use pond and registered pre 1914 water rights claim on the Big River.  The balance of the land plays host to dense forests, ideal for recreation and more.   
 
A paved driveway ascends from the county road, venturing to the heart of the ranch, an impressive lodge hosts up to 24 guests comfortably.  Inspired by the land itself, the approximately 5,500 square foot lodge is constructed with sustainably sourced Redwood, harvested and milled from the land.  Comprised of 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms over three levels, the main level opens to spacious living and dining areas with attached decks which expose expansive views.  A highly functional and commercially viable kitchen serves the lodge.  Spacious studio space is available for meetings, workshops, yoga, exercise, dance and other group activities.  Ample interior and exterior areas creating options for guests. The upper and lower levels of the lodge host private bedrooms with balcony access and the owner’s quarters upstairs which can be designated as a primary suite or a spacious suite for guests.  The nearby Annex building offers two additional bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as upper-level office space.   
The landscape surrounding the Lodge and Annex building is lush and peaceful.  The Lodge opens to ornamental and vegetable gardens.  This distinguished garden area makes an ideal outdoor space for hosting receptions or small events.  A rolling lawn area disappears into the inviting recreational pond with dock, a perfect place to cool off during warm summer days.  A forested path leads to a private Redwood-clad hot tub, where guests can escape and relax.  The grounds and natural landscape transport guests to a utopia, unhindered by modern influences.  
 
The Shambhala Ranch has a long and successful history as a sustainable, commercial enterprise.  For years, the site has played host to retreats and events of all types.  From corporate off-sites, workshops, weddings and wellness, the site caters to those looking to be immersed in nature and channel deep focus and appreciation, outside of the confines of urban living.  Existing permits ensure future success in the event, hospitality and overnight accommodation business.  The current ownership has pursued preliminary approval for expansion of existing operations, which could be assumed by a new owner.  The Shambala Ranch is poised for continued success in the event and lodging space with room to scale.   
 
The ranch is also well suited as a private ranch and family compound.  Multiple legal parcels allow for construction of additional residential improvements throughout the ranch.  With the existing lodge as a starting point, new owners are provided with an opportunity to build in other private and picturesque areas of the land, with some existing infrastructure in place.   
 
Climate, topography and exposure produce growing conditions which are ideal for Burgundian grape varietals such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.  A vineyard survey has been completed, identifying roughly 33 acres of plant-able land over prime soils.  Alternatively, this land is available for alternative agriculture too.   
Located ideally between Mendocino County’s main tourist corridors, the Mendocino Coast and Anderson Valley, there are many attractions within a short drive.  The nearby Mendocino Coast offers incredible scenery which rivals the finest destinations around the world.  The historic town of Mendocino offers year-round shopping, festivals, boutique inns and world-class dining.  Neighboring Anderson Valley is a destination of its own.  Known for its Pinot Noir production, the area is loaded with tasting venues and wine country experiences.  The ranch’s location benefits from the nearby bucolic and diverse communities.  
T
he Shambhala Ranch presents a diverse opportunity in an area of unrivaled natural beauty.  Whether you seek to operate the ranch as a business, enjoy as a private residence or a little of both, this unique offering will impress.
