Discover a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own the Pritchard Sumner Ranch, a significant and historic 8,525± acre working ranch on California’s Central Coast. Held within the same family for over 150 years, this remarkable property offers a rare blend of rich ranching history, ecological diversity, and outstanding recreational and conservation possibilities. Historically supporting up to 200 cow/calf pairs annually, the ranch features comprehensive livestock infrastructure including cross fencing, approximately 22 troughs, new corrals, a loading chute, 60ft truck scale, and well-maintained roads. Beyond its agricultural utility, the land teems with excellent recreational opportunities such as hunting (A-Zone deer), hiking, riding, and ATVing. It is home to diverse wildlife including tule elk, black-tailed deer, wild pig, dove, and quail. Water is plentiful with two domestic wells, an 80,000-gallon storage tank, and two stock ponds. Improvements on the ranch includes a well-maintained 1930s ranch house with three bedrooms and one bath, boasting a new roof and stabilized foundation. A 40’ x 30’ metal pole barn, built within the last decade, and additional outbuildings provide further utility. From its sweeping ridgetop vistas and expansive valleys to its thriving tule elk habitat and rich homesteading heritage, the Pritchard Sumner Ranch presents a unique canvas for legacy-minded ownership. About 8,025.97 ± acres are under the Williamson Act for significant property tax benefits.
