Corcoran Icon Properties announces the listing of 13792 Johnson Road in Orick, California, a rare riverfront property located directly along the Klamath River at a moment of major change for the region. The river runs through the property and has just completed the largest river dam removal and restoration project in U.S. history, returning the Klamath to a free-flowing state for the first time in over a century.
Represented by Jon Witkop, the property offers a direct connection to one of Northern California’s most important waterways. Over the past several years, four dams were removed from the Klamath River, reopening hundreds of miles of habitat for salmon and steelhead and restoring a river that holds deep significance for local tribes and the surrounding ecosystem.
“Properties like this don’t come along often,” said Witkop. “Very few sit right on the Klamath, and that number may shrink as the river is restored. It’s a place people connect with the moment they arrive.”
Properties along the Klamath River rarely come to market, making 13792 Johnson Road a unique offering, particularly for buyers drawn to fishing, land stewardship, or a slower pace of life. The Klamath has long been known for its salmon runs, and the recent restoration has renewed interest from anglers and buyers looking to live closer to the land. For those wanting to step away from city life, reconnect with nature, or explore a more self-sustained lifestyle, the property offers both privacy and a meaningful sense of place.
Set in Humboldt County near the Pacific Coast, the property reflects a broader shift in buyer interest toward homes that offer space, access to nature, and a deeper connection to the surrounding environment. As restoration continues along the riverbanks, the area remains quiet and largely unchanged, offering a rare chance to be part of the Klamath’s next chapter.
