1824 Acs. The Martin Ranch
The Martin Ranch is a multi generational gem that has opportunity for mining, recreation, cattle grazing, hunting, homesite and farming.
Large deposits of dolomite and limestone have been documented to be on the property by licensed geological engineers.
With mineral rights (included), and a conditional use permit that may be obtained by San Benito County, a mining operation could be
established. This untouched ranch could supply rock material to large Bay Area projects in cities like San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. Access to Hwy. 101 is 16 miles from the Martin Ranch.
The ranch has a long history of cattle grazing with access to water, native and non-native grasses, large oak tree forests and creek bottoms. The property currently supports 100 head of cattle.
The property has a well that has historically irrigated 5 acres near the property entrance. This area is currently growing
1...
1.2 acres of Zinfandel wine grapes and the balance was planted to grain crops. With additional improvements, the irrigated area could be expanded to accommodate additional acreage. On the west side of the ranch lies a 2.5 acre reservoir that is gravity
fed by a smaller pond off the Left and Main Fork of Bird Creek which flows seasonally for 2 miles along the northern boundary of the property. The Martin Ranch also has appropriative water rights from Bird Creek for up to 48.5 acre feet per year. There are several water troughs, multiple springs, and one well.
