CA-156

The Gaver Ranch is a large, 341-acre agricultural holding located at the north end of the Salinas Valley featuring rolling topography, a cool coastal climate and good water supply that is ideal for growing strawberries. The ranch is supplied by two new irrigation wells, one developed in 2024 and the 2nd well just completed in 2025, which together can supply upwards of 2,000 gallons per minute. The soils found on the Gaver are mostly fine sandy loam soils that are moderately well drained and common in the area that are ideally suited for strawberry production. The ranch is further improved with drainage culverts and retention ponds designed to minimize erosion and protect habitat areas. With frontage along Highway 156 and Blackie Road, the location provides excellent linkage to Highway 1 and Highway 101 and convenient access to the main strawberry and vegetable processing facilities in Salinas and Watsonville. The ranch is currently leased to six tenants, with terms expiring between 2024 and 2026 with possible early termination clauses, providing an opportunity to both strawberry growers and farmland investors.
