The property shares a 10 ½-mile border with Mexico, making it a popular route for human and drug smugglers evading a meager force of Border Patrol agents in the mountainous region.
Some portions have an 18-foot iron fence along the border that Ladd says illegal immigrants "Easily climb with a pack of dope." Other sections have a laughable wire fence that has been repeatedly penetrated with vehicles speeding through from Mexico.
In the last three years most of the illegal border crossers have been central American, Ladd said.
On a hill adjacent to Ladd's ranch stands an imposing camera tower that could never capture illegal border crossers because its view is completely blocked by a sea of lush trees below.
Illegal immigration has had such a devastating impact on the area that Guerrero wrote a book offering detailed anecdotes of what he and his family endure because they live near the Mexican border.
In 2011, illegal immigrant smugglers started the fire along the border to escape the Border Patrol during a pursuit.
Judd, who heads the union that represents some 16,000 Border Patrol agents nationwide, says the border can be secured.
