Oak Ridge Ranch (ORR)– A truly unique property with an abundance of possibilities.
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. It encompasses 903 acres of versatile land, with nearly 400 acres of flat terrain ideal for agricultural use.
The property benefits from abundant water resources, including a 5-acre reservoir, two active water wells (one producing 55 gallons at 65 feet), and an artesian well just 3 feet deep. In addition, a seasonal creek and two smaller ponds provide year-round water, ensuring reliable access. The ranch is located at an elevation that typically keeps it above the valley fog that often blankets the San Joaquin Valley, providing a more favorable climate for both agriculture and livestock management.
ORR also features a dirt airstrip surfaced with decomposed granite (D.G.), offering potential for small aircraft use. It could be used with the approval of a conditional use permit from the county, providing convenient access to the property.
For over 30 years, the ranch has been a working cattle operation, with the entire perimeter fully fenced. It is currently leased to a tenant who runs several hundred head of cattle, and the lease remains in place until Sept. 2025, after which it transitions to a month-to-month agreement.
ORR offers excellent hunting opportunities with abundant wildlife, including wild turkey, deer, pigs, doves, and quail. The historic charm of the ranch is further enhanced by 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.
Finally, 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. This does not restrict the building of a home.
ORR 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.
