Description

These two agricultural properties are located in Fresno County, California, with one situated on Elkhorn Avenue east of Lake Avenue in Cantua Creek and the other at the intersection of West Davis Avenue and South Trinity Avenue in Helm. Together, the properties comprise approximately 315.72 assessed acres. The Cantua Creek ranch is planted to approximately 191.88 acres of Kerman pistachios on Platinum rootstock established in 2009, while the Helm ranch contains approximately 121.84 acres of Kerman pistachios on Platinum rootstock planted in 2008. Water resources include full Westlands Water District water rights for the Cantua Creek property, which is also part of the Westlands Water District Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA), while the Helm property is located within the Kings River Conservation District and the North Fork Kings GSA, with the seller reporting no current pumping restrictions. Irrigation water is supported by a high-capacity agricultural well drilled in 2008, producing approximately 2,500 gallons per minute from a depth of 1,000 feet. Although the Cantua Creek property is adjacent to the Crescent Canal, no canal shares are included in the sale. Additional soil information is available through the property's soil maps and descriptions. Buyers should be aware that groundwater use may be subject to future regulations under California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), which requires groundwater basins to achieve sustainability by 2040, and are encouraged to conduct independent due diligence regarding water rights, availability, and potential restrictions. An adjacent 304.42-acre pistachio property in Cantua Creek is also available for purchase, providing an opportunity to expand and consolidate farming operations in the area.
