Known as the Carroll Ranch, the sprawling property includes three homes, an in-place cattle operation, fertile farmland, irrigated pastures, a 5-acre lake and good hunting and recreational opportunities.

It’s currently owned by Jim Carroll and his wife, Sharon, since 1999, said listing agent Denny Prins, of California Outdoor Properties.

They bought it from Gates—best known for Bread’s 1970 hit “Make it With You”—who purchased the ranch in 1974 and used it as a summer retreat, according to published reports.
