Description

Prime 406± acre Santa Ynez Valley agricultural estate featuring two distinct ranches near Lompoc: Home Ranch (77.69± acres) and Apache Ranch (329.02± acres), totaling approximately 195 farmable acres (70± and 125±, respectively). Significant income is generated from farmland rent, H-2A housing rent, and other commercial rent from on-site buildings.

Exceptional water infrastructure includes seven agricultural wells across both ranches, featuring a recently installed $350,000 well, complemented by a solid set irrigation system throughout.

Residential improvements feature H-2A certified housing for 100 workers, including multiple residences, a large heated dining area equipped with flat-screen TVs, and 10 sets of washers and dryers. A separate dedicated manager's residence enhances operational readiness. Additional facilities include functional maintenance shops with four roll-up doors, a truck scale, and a recently upgraded $100,000+ drinking water system.

The Apache Ranch's southern section may present opportunities for exploration of alternative uses, including potential subdivision, given its separate access via San Pascual Canyon Road.
