Executive Summary
Properties of this size and location near Watsonville and Pinto Lake rarely come
available. The Property is located in the unincorporated area less than ½ mile north of
Watsonville, CA city limits. Highway 101 is 14 miles to the east.
Once owned and cultivated by renowned berry farmer George Cowles, a longtime Driscoll grower who farmed for more than 70 years, the property carries a rich agricultural legacy.
Today it continues to be organically farmed and produces a variety of crops.
The Property is not much different than back when farmed by George Cowles, with the
exception of the house built in 1978. The Property continues to reflect its agricultural
heritage and remains well suited for farming or rural estate living. The Property is situated
on a private lot between Cowles Road and Pinto Lake. Surrounded by mature trees,
neighboring farmland, and scenic views toward Pinto Lake, the Property offers privacy and
a peaceful rural setting while remaining conveniently located near town amenities and
transportation routes.
The farm ground is currently leased to an organic vegetable grower, producing
income through July 2028.
There is one operating agricultural well on the property and a second non-operational well.
The operating well was drilled in 2003 and finished to 400’ with an 8” PVC casing
and estimated production at 400 GPM. The farm ground is served by an underground
pressurized irrigation system.
The home has water service provided through the Pajaro Valley Water Management
Agency.
There is a 2,000 square foot, one story, 3 bedroom and 2 bath, with attached garage,
residence on the property. Sewer is on septic. Water, electric, and gas for the residence is
provided by the municipal utilities. The residence is unoccupied and could provide rental
income or serve as a great family home. Large parcels of land near Watsonville with
this combination of water, agriculture, and residential improvements are increasingly
rare.
