42100 El Camino Real

5 Star Ranch is a premier, turnkey agricultural property encompassing approximately ±285 acres and offered at $12,112,500, or $42,500 per acre. The ranch has been owned and operated by a highly respected Salinas Valley grower known for exceptional stewardship, integrity, and production standards—qualities that are evident throughout the operation. Significant capital investment has positioned the property as a best-in-class agricultural asset. Extensive rock removal has enhanced soil productivity, while the agricultural well has been fully reworked and all underground mainlines redesigned and upgraded. These improvements dramatically increased water capacity, with output rising from approximately 700 GPM to a recent pump test indicating potential production of 3,000–4,000 GPM. A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) system, representing an investment exceeding $100,000, has been installed to precisely match power and pressure to real-time irrigation demand. This system reduces energy consumption, extends motor life, and improves overall operational efficiency, resulting in meaningful long-term cost savings. The ranch has been actively farmed for more than a year under current ownership, during which time all operational issues have been addressed. The property has demonstrated clear proof of concept, with systems tested and proven in real-world farming conditions. This is a fully dialed-in operation with reliable infrastructure and strong productivity.
