Description

The property is located on both the north and south sides of County Road 19, approximately five miles northwest of Woodland in Yolo County. It is developed as a large-scale olive ranch with approximately 1,498 acres currently planted to oil olives, including about 1,023 acres of Arbequina olives and 475 acres of Arbosana olives, all established in 2011 and 2012. An additional 45 acres of Arbequina and Lecciana olives are scheduled to be planted in April 2026 with new irrigation and trellis systems on a 12-by-5-foot spacing, bringing the total planted acreage to approximately 1,543 acres. Improvements on the property include a 2,445-square-foot six-bedroom residence originally built in 1914 and fully remodeled in 2022, now serving as the ranch manager’s home, as well as a 3,000-square-foot shop and office building with a dedicated conference room. Water resources are substantial, with the property located within the Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and supported by seven agricultural wells and two domestic wells. Additional soil information is available through the property’s soil maps and descriptions. The ranch is identified by multiple Yolo County APNs, including 025-010-015, 025-280-028, 025-280-002, 025-280-030, 025-280-031, 025-360-066, 025-360-054, 025-360-071, 025-360-077, 025-360-068, 025-360-079, 025-360-024, and 025-280-029-000.

The property may also be eligible for enrollment in the Williamson Act, potentially offering reduced property tax assessments in exchange for maintaining the land in agricultural use, and buyers are encouraged to consult with local professionals regarding eligibility and benefits.
