This 40 acre ranch is just minutes from Dixon, Vacaville, I-505 and Interstate 80. It is surrounded on all sides by the
larger farms and ranches, so the serenity of the property should remain for years to come. Beautiful views of the Vaca
hills and Mount Diablo, orchards and pasture will delight you as you enjoy lazy summer evenings watching your horses,
alpacas or cows grazing the lush pastures.
For the horse breeder or trainer, this ranch is very close to the proposed "Dixon Downs Racetrack
, which is in the process of completing its EIR for City of Dixon approval. The racetrack property is located
in Dixon, just 7 miles from this ranch. Two large thoroughbred racehorse ranches are located nearby. The one across the
road was once owned by William Shatner!
A large barn was constructed in 2002, and is 60' X 70'. Clear height here is over 22 feet, so hay can be deliverd with a
stacker. The 6 doors open 20 feet wide to accommodate the staker/squeeze. 2 roomy stalls are located on the east side of
the barn, plus additional stall space on the west side. When hay is not within the barn, it can be used as a small indoor
arena.
A smaller stable is also located on the property. I has an additional 6 older stalls with some paddocks, a loafing shed and is of wood
construction. This barn needs some renovation.
Other smaller outbuildings include a carport (less than 6 feet of clearance) with a small storage area, well house and container used
as a tack room. The storage building is in need of a new roof.
Several pastures have been fenced off behind the homestead on the front 20 acres of the ranch. Currently one is irrigated,
and two are not, as the tenant does not have enough horses on the property to warrant additional irrigation.
The back half of the property is also under irrigation, and is used for growing an alfalfa/grass hay.
The entire property is served by Solano Irrigation District.
The Home
The home was built in 1956, of concrete block. It was upgraded between 1995 and 2000 with a new roof, dual pane windows,
and central heat and air. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a very large kitchen and a huge great room. The hall bathroom
was also remodeled in 2000 with a large tile shower.
