WATER: This ranch has two sources of water. In addition to the three ag wells, the ranch is also in the Nevada Irrigation District (NID). The total cost for NID water in 2022 was less than $9,000, making it very inexpensive. Only one well is used with the NID water, and the other two additional ag wells are connected to the irrigation system but not used at this time.
IRRIGATION: The ranch is irrigated via micro-sprinklers and operates in two sets.
SOILS: The majority are class one soils making it ideal for a variety of nut crops or vineyards. (please see attached soil map)
SPECIAL CONDITIONS: There is an ag easement recorded on the property in which the property can only be used for agricultural purposes in perpetuity. There is one location where you can build a house and two other locations where you can construct ag buildings. Only farming is allowed and no other development is permitted on the ranch except in the three exclusion areas.
IMPROVEMENTS: There is an existing 2,000 sq. ft. home next to Doty Creek which flows year-round. This structure is not livable, however, it offers valuable building credits for future home construction. This property would make a beautiful homesite.
COMMENTS: With the walnut market down, this is an excellent opportunity to get your foot in the door on an undervalued ranch. The property also has excellent turkey and dove hunting which is a bonus to the farming. The ranchs close proximity to the booming cities of Lincoln, Rocklin, and Roseville make it an asset bound to appreciate. Tour the property in person and you wont be able to deny its potential.
