- Features
Located on Highway 25 approximately 50 miles south of Hollister, 20 miles east of King City and Highway 101, 10 miles north of Highway 198 and approximately 2 hours from San Jose, Fresno or Santa Maria. This private remote mountain ranch is in the center of the most populous state in the nation.
With lots of aesthetic appeal, this ranch is level to rolling along Highway 25 and extends up the mountain to steep terrain with the tallest peak at 3,884 feet. The scenery is breathtaking with views of the Sierras on a clear day and 100+ mile views of the Salinas Valley and the Santa Lucia Range. Giant rock formations (some used as a hideout by Tiburcio Vasquez, a famous California bandit in the mid 1800's) and majestic trees decorate the landscape. Long ridges and vast canyons are serviced by over 25 miles of ranch roads. The ranch is located on the San Andreas Fault with many unique geological features creating a geologist's playgound.
This is the perfect ranch for cattle ranching, hunting, horseback riding, off roading, bird watching and sightseeing. It makes a great setting for family outing or corporate retreats with its great scenic views. The hunting is very good with lots of deer, wild pigs, dove and quail. Also, tags can be obtained to hunt tule elk that are located on the ranch. This ranch has lots of privacy, great views, good hunting with natural vegetative cover and a productive cattle ranch with good quality feed.
A homey cabin sits with an awesome view of the lower ranch and the Salinas Valley beyond. The 1,000 square foot cabin includes a kitchen/dining/living room with a wood stove, a master bedroom, a loft bedroom, a full bathroom and a large covered porch on two sides. Its is wired for a generator and propane operates a refrigerator, a cooktop, a tankless water heater and gas lights. There is a separate bunkhouse with a countertop and sink that is an open room with windows covered by screen in the summer and clear vinyl in the winter.
There is one well and a number of year around springs, seasonal creeks and stock ponds. The Hepsedam Mutual Water Company provides water to the lower ranch. The ranch is zoned Agricultural Rangeland, 40 acre minimum parcel size. The ranch has the tax benefits of a Williamson Act contract with San Benito County.
Hunting, recreation and livestock grazing. Carrying capacity for the ranch is approximately 500 to 800 stockers for a grass season of 6 to 7 months. Currently it is a cattle ranch in the winter and a spring and a hunting ranch in the summer and fall. "The ranch has a combination of some of the strongest feed types found in Central California. On a normal year you can have green feed on the upper elevations as late as July 1st." John Eade-Lessee for 33 yrs.
"Our group has been hunting this ranch for 10 years and know it to have a well managed herd of excellent quality blacktail deer. We hunt a lot of different ranches, but the bucks taken off this ranch are the ones we brag about." Stan Pura-Mission Ranches
