Rarely does a large ranch this pristine come up for sale on the Central Coast. This 563+/- acre working ranch with 5 legal parcels in the scenic Pozo valley has a unique mix of open plantable farmland and hunting, riding, and hiking forest land. The main home sits on a knoll next to the seasonal creek that runs through the property and overlooks the horse facilities out to the oak, sycamore, and pine woodland hills. This ranch backs to BLM land for unlimited riding, and is also close to both of the two large recreation lakes (Lopez and Margarita) and also to the many trailheads in the area including Turkey Flat OHV off-highway area. Abundant water allows for robust cattle and horse operations or other agriculture. The ranch is also in the Williamson Act for low property taxes. Facilities include a barn with guest house, finished tack room with bath, 3-car garage with covered equip. area, trailer cover, corral, paddock, cross-fencing, stock pond, chicken coop, and more. The current owner has an additional 80 acre BLM lease for cattle. You can see nearby Hi Mt. Lookout condor observatory from the property. Whether you are interested in wine, cattle, olives or something else you can draw on nearby resources such as Cal Poly State Universitys Agriculture program and the vibrant local wine industry.
