THE SHADE RANCH

Custom Pescadero Estate on Private 130 Acres

Nestled along the breathtaking California Coast and less than an hour from both San Francisco and San Jose, The Shade Ranch presents an extraordinary opportunity to own one of the region’s most exceptional private estates. Spanning approx. 130 acres of rolling hills, fertile valleys, and productive agricultural land, this remarkable property combines historic charm, modern infrastructure, and unparalleled versatility.
Approached via a picturesque, redwood-lined drive, the ranch unfolds into a stunning landscape with exceptional privacy, sweeping vistas, and panoramic views overlooking the historic coastal town of Pescadero.
At the heart of the property sits a beautifully renovated 1940s farmhouse, complemented by a separate bunkhouse with potential farm labor housing use. The estate features three substantial multi-purpose barns, each positioned to support a wide range of agricultural, recreational, and entertainment activities.
A standout feature is the spectacularly restored Lower Barn, transformed into an impressive gathering area.
The Middle Barn offers ample space for ranch equipment, vehicles, recreational storage, and even helicopter accommodation. The property includes a designated helicopter landing area, adding a rare level of convenience and accessibility.
The Upper Barn features paddocks, equipment storage, and additional operational space ideal for equestrian, agricultural, or ranching pursuits.
Agricultural productivity is enhanced by acres of producing apple orchards, while the property’s extensive water resources include two reservoirs with more than 30 acre-feet of adjudicated water storage, a domestic well, and supplemental tank storage. Significant infrastructure improvements include extensive drainage systems, septic facilities, and a network of maintained roads providing easy access throughout the ranch.
Additional improvements include a dedicated equipment center, spacious workshop for on-site maintenance, and enclosed vehicle storage facilities.
