Executive Summary

Alto Corralitos Ranch offers the opportunity to acquire approximately ±56.61 acres of agricultural land in the Corralitos area of Santa Cruz County. The property consists of two contiguous parcels that combine productive farmland, existing agricultural improvements, forested acreage, and potential rural residential homesites. Approximately 22+ acres are estimated to be farmable and have been actively cultivated by a local organic grower, demonstrating the property's ongoing agricultural utility and established farming history.
The ranch benefits from Merk Road frontage, on-site water resources, and existing agricultural infrastructure, including a primary agricultural well serving both agricultural and residential uses. Improvements include two single-family residences, a metal agricultural barn, and an accessory building, providing functionality for continued agricultural operations and on-site occupancy. The northern parcel includes a level homesite near Merk Road and an elevated homesite area with valley and distant ocean views, while the southern parcel contains productive farmland and the existing improvements.
Located within Santa Cruz County's established Corralitos farming corridor, the property is positioned within one of California's recognized agricultural regions.

The property's combination of productive acreage, existing improvements, water resources, and long-standing agricultural use creates an opportunity for owner-operators, agricultural investors, conservation-minded buyers, or purchasers seeking a rural estate with agricultural potential.
