Located in the beautiful and historic Yokuts Valley area, the Oakridge Ranch encompasses +/-903.5 acres of versatile land, with +/-400 acres of flat terrain ideal for agricultural use. Situated within the renowned Squaw Valley-Miramonte AVA (American Viticulture Area designation for being a unique grape growing region), the property offers prime conditions for both cattle ranching and potential grape growing. The area's unique microclimate makes it especially suited for these pursuits, offering a rare combination of fertile land and natural beauty. The entire ranch is enrolled in the Williamson Act, which significantly reduces property taxes by preserving its agricultural, cattle and open space use. This offers substantial savings and makes the property even more attractive for agricultural development.
Oak Ridge Ranch is an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a versatile property with a strong agricultural foundation, abundant water resources, and a rich history of cattle ranching. Whether you're looking to continue its legacy, develop the land further, or simply enjoy its natural beauty, this property offers immense potential with low taxes and abundant possibilities.
The property benefits from abundant water resources, including a 5-acre reservoir, two (2) active water wells (the most recent one producing 55 gallons at 65 feet), in addition to one (1) artesian well at the homestead that is just 3 feet deep. In addition, a seasonal creek and two smaller ponds provide year-round water, ensuring reliable access for farming, livestock, or recreation.
The property includes a classic wooden barn and a couple of other outbuildings, providing utility and character. However, the old ranch house and pump house are in disrepair and of limited value.
The property has historically been a working cattle operation, with the entire perimeter fully fenced. The property is currently leased to a tenant who runs several hundred head of cattle. The lease is now a month-to-month rental agreement. This arrangement ensures efficient management of the ranch's livestock operations.
