Here is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Wild West history and your chance to find some buried treasure in Fresno County, CA! The remarkable 1426-acre Elwood Ranch is strategically located between Squaw Valley and Wonder Valley, roughly 35 miles from Fresno. Perfect for any developer, aspiring buyer, or a 1031 exchange, this property is comprised of 13 parcels and features multiple seasonal streams, waterfalls, and year-round spring-fed ponds. A divided paved road runs through the entire ranch, along with well-maintained dirt roads for excellent access. Plentiful wildlife, valuable timber, and panoramic views of stunning mountains, including Dalton Mountain, complement this unique property's invaluable history. During the late 1800s near the end of their time in California, the notorious Dalton Gang used parts of this property as a hideout from the law. Following a successful jailbreak in September 1891, members of the Dalton Gang made their camp somewhere on the nearby Dalton Mountain and waited for the pressure from law enforcement to die down. While they waited, they frequently snuck onto the Elwood ranch to steal food and other supplies from the Elwood family’s meat locker, leaving a gold coin in the doorway as payment. Little did they know, the lawmen were close on their heels. After spending the night on the floor of the Elwood family’s living room, two posses of lawmen approached the camp in the early hours of the morning, planning to ambush the gang. As two Dalton Gang members were returning to camp, the lawmen sprung their trap and raised their rifles. In the chaos of a brief exchange of gunfire, Gratton Dalton escaped, forcing his way through the brush before coming upon Judson Elwood plowing his field. Leveling his pistol at the old man, Gratton demanded he unhitch one of his horses so he could make his getaway. Elwood complied and with that, Gratton Dalton rendezvoused with his brother before the two made their way back to Oklahoma, continuing their reign of terror for another year. Legend has it that the Dalton Gang’s gold is still buried somewhere around Dalton Mountain, possibly on this very property! Ready to purchase this incredible piece of American history? Call today! |
