SAN FRANCISCO – Discount-brokerage mogul Charles Schwab is selling his ranch, and all the duck hunting that goes with it. 

The property, called Casa de Patos or “House of Ducks,” is a 1,600-acre ranch in one of the best hunting tracts in the Sacramento Valley. 

Schwab is selling the ranch for $10.3 million because he has less time to spend there due to the growth of his brokerage. It is located more than 100 miles north of San Francisco. 

The ranch, which includes two cabins, a pool, hot tub and a caretaker’s house, has been on the market for a little over a month. It also has a rice-farming operation.
