8734 sulphur creek road

Welcome to Melody Ranch: a private 58-acre mountain estate situated in Lake County's Cobb Mountain / Loch Lomond region that’s been cherished by the same family for over 74 years. Now available for the first time, this serene retreat offers an expansive pasture, forest and natural water sources—all set against the peaceful backdrop of Northern California’s highlands. Set along the newly paved Sulphur Creek Road, the property’s southeastern boundary follows the gentle flow of year-round Sulphur Creek, fed by numerous springs that nourish the land and keep the pasture vibrant even in the dry season. Imagine waking to the soothing sounds of wind moving through the pine, fir, and oak—creating a tranquil setting perfect for relaxation, creativity, or retreat. The setting is ideal for livestock, horses, or your vision of a boutique high-elevation vineyard. The inviting three-bedroom, two-level home offers rustic charm and versatile living spaces. The main floor features the kitchen, living room with fireplace, a primary bedroom with en-suite bath, and a convenient guest ¼ bath. Downstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom with separate tub and shower, and a spacious recreation room—once the practice studio for the locally famed Prather Brothers Band in the 1970s. Interior details include classic wood paneling, carpeted living spaces, ceramic tile in the bathrooms, and acoustic ceilings. The all-electric kitchen is equipped with a stove, dual ovens, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator, and generous cabinet space. A power transfer switch allows quick connection to a portable generator during power outages. Additional Structures: A large detached garage/shop with a two-car bay, a separate one-car section, and a covered carport—perfect for tools, vehicles, or future workshop use. Its roof is ideal for solar installation. A charming A-frame barn adds functionality and character, suitable for feed storage, sheltering animals, or other creative uses.
