Dodge Ranch is one of the largest remaining ranches in California, with 111 assessor's parcels totaling 23,600 deeded acres and 224,971 acres of federal grazing allotments, spanning approximately twenty square miles on the Madeline Plains, east of the unincorporated community of Ravendale, California. Currently, the ranch produces organic alfalfa on approximately 3,700 irrigated acres. Fourteen quality Nelson bubbler pivots deliver most of the water to the crop, and all but five of the pivots were installed new within the last five years.

A summary of the property's structures includes five houses, a duplex, two bunkhouses, a guest house, four corrals/stables, five storage shed/barn buildings, a mechanic's shop, a seed shop, and several additional structures dedicated to ranch operations. The ranch is supplied with water through a system that includes over 20 wells, a series of canals, pipelines, lift pumps, culverts, and ponds, and the rights to abundant surface water from Dodge Reservoir and Buckhorn Reservoir.
