Description:

AiCRE Partners presents a rare opportunity to acquire a 60.88-acre, infrastructure-rich agricultural asset in the heart of Santa Cruz County. Formerly home to Coastal Nursery, this expansive property includes three contiguous parcels—each with its own residential home—and a host of purpose-built facilities tailored for agri-business operations.

Positioned minutes from Highway 1 and offering seamless access to regional commercial, residential, and logistics hubs, the site is zoned "A – Agriculture," providing investors and operators with exceptional flexibility. Existing improvements include a 3,000 SF office building, 3,500 SF refrigerated building, 36,000 SF processing and maintenance facility, and an 18,900 SF Fungi House made up of nine dedicated grow bays.

Watsonville’s robust agricultural economy, combined with rising land values and regional population growth, positions 117 Rancho Road as a high-potential investment for ag operators, developers, or land bankers seeking long-term upside.
