Property Description

Young Walnuts/Young Almonds! Set along State Highway 120 in the heart of South San Joaquin Irrigation District country, this diversified 42.51-acre orchard pairs young, productive plantings with exceptional water security and modern infrastructure. Planted between 2019 and 2022, the ranch offers a buyer the rare opportunity to step into an orchard approaching its prime earning years, with the heavy lifting of establishment already complete. The 22-acre almond block was thoughtfully designed for strong pollination and consistent yields as the trees mature. Ten acres of Independence were planted in April 2019, followed by 6 acres of Nonpareil and 6 acres of Bennett in April 2020. Complementing the almonds, 19 acres are planted to Chandler walnuts, established in two phases with ten acres in March 2021 and nine acres in April 2022. This balance of two premium crops gives the operation built-in diversification, spreading market exposure across both commodities. Water security is a defining strength of the ranch. The property draws from two dependable sources, a 50 HP agricultural well and SSJID surface water, giving the operation flexibility and resilience through every stage of the growing season. A 60 HP booster pump delivers efficient distribution across the acreage, while a solar system installed in 2020 helps offset energy costs, a meaningful advantage in today's farming economics. With young trees, dual water sources, and energy-saving improvements already in place, this Highway 120 orchard is well positioned for a grower looking to expand, an investor seeking long-term agricultural income, or a buyer who values the stability that reliable water brings to Central Valley farmland. Great Soil, Great Water!!
