Description

The property is located on the north side of Robinson Road in Snelling, Merced County, California, and comprises approximately 268.67 assessed acres. It is planted with about 195 acres of Golden Hills pistachios on Platinum rootstock, established in March 2021. The property includes several improvements, such as a 2,400-square-foot rental home, a picturesque 2,862-square-foot historic residence, two agricultural shops, and a small livestock corral. Water resources are a significant feature, with access to CAD (Cowell Area Diverters) water managed by MID, provided free to the landowner without usage limitations, as well as adjudicated pre-1914 riparian water rights to the Merced River delivered through the Cuneo Ditch Diversion. A pipeline also connects the ranch to a well located on a neighboring 223.07-acre almond property. Soil information is available through the property's soil maps and descriptions. Buyers should note that groundwater use may be subject to future restrictions under California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), which requires groundwater basins to achieve sustainability by 2040, and are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence regarding water availability and usage rights. Additionally, the property may be acquired together with the adjacent 223.07-acre almond ranch, offering an opportunity for expanded agricultural operations.
