Property Description
Some properties offer land. Others offer a home. Rancho Notso Grande offers a way of life where a historic residence, working farm, and thriving community come together in one extraordinary opportunity. At the heart of the property is the Olivas Home, a 2,640 sq ft historic residence built over 130 years ago by Emil Gottschalk, founder of Gottschalks department store. A classic wraparound porch invites relaxed Central Valley evenings, while inside, craftsmanship shines through coffered ceilings, wainscoting, pocket doors, leaded glass windows, and oak herringbone floors. The kitchen blends charm and function with commercial-grade appliances, cherry cabinetry, and granite counters. Modern upgrades including, dual HVAC, updated roofing, and enhanced insulation provide comfort without compromising integrity. A subterranean wine cellar, two unique fireplaces built from reclaimed 1906 San Francisco brick, and a wealth of original details make this home truly one of a kind. The grounds are designed for both everyday living and entertaining. Over 5,000 sq ft of stamped concrete surrounds a resort-style pool and spa with waterfall, complemented by a 900 sq ft outdoor pavilion featuring a full kitchen, pizza oven, and bar. Mature trees, ponds, and over 800 feet of wrought iron fencing create a private, park-like setting. Additional features include a six-car garage, gym space, and a barn with shop and guest quarters. What truly sets this property apart is the farm. Established in 1997 and has evolved into a beloved agri-tourism destination, Rancho Notso Grande produces berries, nuts, and organic produce while hosting a highly popular you-pick experience. Guests travel from across California to harvest fruit, creating lasting traditions season after season. The business offers multiple revenue streams, including on-site sales, farmers markets, wholesale accounts, and value-added goods. Rarely does a property combine historic charm, income potential, and community connection so seamlessly. Rancho Notso Grande is more than a purchase; it is a legacy and a lifestyle.
