About This Home

Tucked into the remote hills of San Benito County near the Clear Creek Management Area, this owner-built working ranch offers nearly 480 deeded acres across two parcels, plus access to 700+ acres of adjacent BLM land a rare combination of private ownership and open-range scale that's nearly impossible to find at any price. The main home is 2x8 construction throughout built to last and insulated for the elevation featuring a vaulted tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, recessed lighting, polished concrete floors, and an open great room flowing into a dining area with reclaimed barn wood sliding door, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning stove. The kitchen anchors around a fully functional antique cook stove a centerpiece that perfectly captures the spirit of a ranch built with this much intention. Two bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bath with tiled walk-in shower and stacked in-unit laundry. Step outside to a large covered concrete patio with sweeping mountain and canyon views that have to be seen to be believed. Ranch infrastructure is built for serious use: pipe corrals with squeeze chute, large open steel hay barn, dedicated welding and equipment shop, game prep building with concrete floor and drain, gated entry, and barbed wire and livestock fencing across the acreage. Pasture climbs the rolling hills above the San Benito River, which crosses the front of the property via a cement crossing, and miles of internal ranch roads give access to the full breadth of the land. Additional guest accommodations include two bunkhouses and a separate bathhouse ready for family, ranch hands, or a full hunt crew. Water infrastructure includes a private well with pressure pump, multiple natural springs, and three large storage tanks serving the home and outbuildings. Deer, pig, and wild turkey roam the property. Enrolled in the Williamson Act for significant property tax savings. Electricity, propane, and septic on site.
