Bargain-Priced Farms with Good Soil, Fruit Trees and
Operating Below Potential: Entry Level Opportunities
15 Acres: This farm, pictured below with photos from spring and summer
is planted in D'Agen plums which are usually dried for prunes. Located just off
a paved road in La Llave, about 22 miles east of San Rafael, it also has about five
acres in fallow land apt for planting, and a nice spot for building a house at the
rear of the property. There is electric at the road, and municipal water which can
easily be brought in.
15 Acres: This farm, pictured below with photos is another under-potentialized
orchard planted in D'Agen plums which are usually dried for prunes. Located in
Colonia Castillo, about 18 miles east of San Rafael, it also has about five acres
acres in fallow land apt for planting, a small barn toward the front of the property.
This property also has an irrigation well (which isn't needed at the moment) but which
could not be drilled and installed for less than US$25,000. The property is fenced
with an attractive wood gate at the entrance and has plenty of space to build a home.
Two thirds of the property are in plums, but about 500-plus trees are just coming into
production so fruit totals will increase in future years.
12 Acres: This farm located in Colonia Colomer about 20 miles from San Rafael
is planted in new peaches and plums which should enjoy first harvest in early 2011.
This area, surrounded by successful orchards, is in a zone known for good plum and
peach production, and is a desperation sale due to the owner's health issues.
