This is a rare and unique agricultural investment opportunity to purchase irrigated row cropland in the highly desired Santa Maria Valley area, known as a premier growing region of the Central California Coast. The property is located several miles south of Santa Maria off San Antonio Road and consists of 194.60+/- acres, including 155.50+/- net usable acres of level, irrigated farm ground and farmstead area. This ranch is situated in a highly productive growing region with an ideal cool coastal climate known for producing a variety of fresh vegetables and berries. Some of the vegetable crops currently farmed include celery, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. Potential to grow berries exists as cane berries are currently being grown in hoop houses on the neighboring property to the west and strawberries on various ranches within one to two miles south and east of the property. Irrigation water sources include two private agricultural wells, reportedly producing 1, 135+/- GPM. The entire ranch is tiled to a depth of six feet with canals strategically located around the cropland area to collect the water. Approximately 25 acres of the back northern end of the property consists of open, gently sloping pastureland, covered with natural vegetation. Potential exists to develop organically this northern 25+/- acres to premium wine grapes, as pinot noir is successfully being grown on the neighboring property to the north.
