The Four Revenue Layers
The Equestrian Operation
Thirty boarding horses across four barns, with a covered arena, outdoor arena, round pens, and established pastures. An existing client community that has been building for decades. The operation transfers as a functioning business.
The Distillery
An active federal TTB distillery license, eight barrels of estate-grown wheat whiskey aged seven years, and a brand with Prohibition-era provenance and a Paris 1900 World's Fair gold medal in its documented history. The license, the inventory, and all distillery equipment transfer with the sale.
The Event Venue
A 165-year-old draft horse barn, a tasting deck, a 1917 Packard flatbed bar, and open grounds configured for private events up to 150 guests. The infrastructure exists. Whether the next owner operates it as a business or reserves it for private use is their decision to make.
Tenant and Rental Income
Multiple residential structures currently tenanted, including two modular homes, a bunkhouse, a cottage, and an additional unit. Combined with boarding revenue, the ranch generates approximately $400,000 in annual income. The Ranch House is not included in that figure. It is the principal residence.
Historical Provenance
J. West Martin, UC Regent, established this ranch in 1854. His stepson grew the wheat that won a gold medal in Paris in 1900. The Reinstein family arrived in 1884 and carried the land for five generations. The 1860 draft horse barn still stands. Some of what has happened on this property is documented. The rest accumulated the way things accumulate on land that has been held with intention across 170 years.
