80 acres in the Historic Livermore Valley. End of road privacy. 45 minutes from San Francisco. Zoned Commercial Agricultural (AG). THE LAND- Reinstein Ranch sweeps through the valley floor to the surrounding hills. The oak-studded terrain moves through open pasture, hillside, and canyon, producing the kind of topographic variety that flat valley parcels at this price point cannot offer. Three producing wells. 37,000 gallons of water storage on site. The agricultural history here is documented and specific. The wheat grown on this soil won a gold medal at the Paris World's Fair in 1900. The wheat fields are not currently planted. The land is resting. WHAT THIS LAND SUPPORTS- The equestrian infrastructure is built and operating. Four barns, a covered arena, a large outdoor arena, multiple round pens, and flat fenced pastures currently supporting 30 boarding horses. Capacity exists for up to 90— a function of the property's uninterrupted operation as a working ranch since the 1850s. No other parcel in the Livermore Valley carries this entitlement position. The canyon and spring just Northwest of the property supported a Prohibition-era distillery operation drawing from estate-grown wheat and natural spring water. That heritage produced Reinstein’s active federal TTB distillery license and the family’s whiskey legacy. Currently, eight barrels of aged wheat whiskey are resting, along with production equipment that transfers with the sale. THE STRUCTURES- The 1860 draft horse barn stands on its original footprint — 165 years in continuous use. The Ranch House, approximately 120 years old, is the principal residence. Multiple additional residential structures are currently tenanted. PROVENANCE- Established 1854. Continuously operated. One ownership transition. Reinstein Ranch has never been sold. Only passed. The opportunity to acquire it exists once. For full history see: ReinsteinRanch.com. Live Well!
