Use

The property consists of approximately 20 acres +/- of Independence almond orchard planted in 2020.  The almonds should produce their first harvestable crop in 2023. In addition, the property consists of 15.59 +/- acres of Chandler walnut orchard planted in 2012 on paradox rootstock. The orchard is planted on a 26 X 26 spacing and produced 66,900 pounds in 2022.  With new ownership in 2019 the production has been increasing with better farming practices.  Heavy tower pruning was conducted in 2021 and lighter tower pruning was conducted again in February 2022, which has promoted excellent growth.  Production should continue to increase over the next few years until max production is reached for the foreseeable future.

In addition, all of the parcels have underground power and have been set up as home sites.  Some of the neighboring parcels have been built out to custom homes.  This could be an option a future owner could take advantage of.

Soils

The soils on this property are well suited for orchard production. Many ranches in the area have almonds, pistachios and walnuts

Water

The property is irrigated by one well with a 40 horsepower electric motor and water is delivered to the trees by micro sprinklers.
