Remarks

Tucked into the eastern Pajaro Valley foothills, with a potential Santa Cruz appalachia designation, this 21+ acre, sun drenched property has all the ingredients for a spectacular small family farm. Here you have end of the road privacy with a private gate, a 3 bedroom, 1 bath farm house that is surrounded by fully fenced abundant grazing acres, a year round pond, multiple stalls for your head of cattle or horses & excellent south west sun exposure. If you see your legacy as a farmer then you will be excited to see the productive well, 5,000sf+ of greenhouses, some raspberry hoops with pots, the spacious processing facility with multiple refrigerated rooms, 200 amps of 220 volt, 3 phase power, and natural gas stubbed to the property. There are even quite a few mature avocado trees to start your home orchard. The only question that remains is what legacy do you want to create here?
