Description
Set among the rolling hills of Shandon, this 160-acre ranch captures the open beauty and quiet pace of country living. The land offers approximately 135 acres of arable ground, historically dry-farmed and grazed for cattle, with gently rolling topography that blends usable acreage, open pastures, and natural draws. Mature trees provide shade and character at the homesite and within one of the draws, adding to the property’s natural appeal. An elevated ridgeline offers sweeping panoramic views, highlighting the property’s beautiful setting. The land is both practical and scenicwell-suited for agriculture, recreation, or a private rural retreat. The ranch is mostly fenced, with additional fencing around the homesite and the water storage tank set on an elevated knoll. A traditional windmill adds to the property’s authentic ranch setting and sits not far from a natural spring. The water system gravity-feeds to a livestock trough below, with potential for additional troughs on either side of the knoll if desired. The property includes a domestic well and PG&E power at the homesite area. Gradual slopes provide excellent opportunities for continued dry-farming, grazing, or even hunting. Surrounded by other large ranches, the property enjoys long, unbroken views across the surrounding hills and down Gillis Canyon toward the Shandon Valley. The open character of the land offers natural privacy, multiple potential building sites, and great potential for future improvements. The ranch combines a peaceful setting with convenient accessonly about 15 minutes from the town of Shandon and Highway 46. At the home site, several remnants of the property’s early history remaina 1910 ranch house, an old adobe structure, and a barn with attached lean-to. The ranch house is not currently habitable but could possibly be restored and brought back to life by someone with the right passion and vision. With its combination of usable ground, natural beauty, and strong agricultural roots, this Gillis Canyon ranch is a rare offeringblending wide-open views, history, and the enduring spirit of California’s Central Coast ranching lifestyle.
