Marsh Island Ranch is a 160-acre property that world-renowned wildlife photographer Tupper Ansel Blake developed from an over-grazed cattle ranch into an extraordinary waterfowl habitat. Located on the California-Oregon border, the ranch compound overlooks the entire Klamath Basin, with Mount Shasta and the Cascade Mountains in the distance. Originally purchased as a wetland restoration project, Tupper Ansel Blake and his wife, Madeleine Graham Blake, converted the former cattle ranch to provide habitat for migrating waterfowl. His efforts were recognized in 2012 when he and the ranch were presented with an award for Outstanding Wetland Conservation. Over 12 years, Tupper and Madeleine rescued several 100-year-old cabins from the Upper Klamath Marsh and created a lodge, library, and guest accommodations. Today, this turnkey ranch is enjoyed as a retreat and world-class recreational ranch. The private property is surrounded by the Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, which comprises nearly 60,000 acres. The ranch has water, electricity, and propane, and sleeps up to eight people with existing beds. The nearby town of Klamath Falls offers shopping, restaurants, and more.
