Beebe Ranch had its first orchards planted on
the east side of
the Columbia River in 1910.
In those early days the only way to reach the
Ranch
was by boat or ferry from Chelan Falls.
By a special act of Congress the Beebe
family
was granted permission to build over the
Columbia River. The original
Beebe Bridge, the
first suspension bridge in Washington, was completed in 1919,
at a cost of $75,000. Upon
completion it was the largest privately built and
owned bridge in the world.
By 1947 the Beebe Orchard Company was the
state's largest apple growing enterprise operated
by a single family. By 1979
the Beebe orchard
operated on a total of 627 acres and stretched
over
three miles along the Columbia River. It had
an annual production of over
400,000 boxes of apples.
In 1989 the orchards were sold to the Dole Fruit
Company, and later sold to the present developers
who have continued the name of
Beebe Ranch.
Beebe Ranch winds along two miles of Columbia River frontage, and is situated
among natural springs and creeks. Chinook and Coho Salmon, as well as Steelhead
migrate past its shores. The land is home to a variety of wildlife, including
big game animals, upland game birds, waterfowl, shore birds, raptors, and
song birds.
Great water skiing, abundant wildlife, and magical views are all part of the
Beebe Ranch experience. Located only five miles from the charming town of
Chelan, Beebe Ranch enjoys the abundant recreational opportunities that Lake
Chelan offers. Priced from $199,093 - $407,899
