The story
210-Acre Off-Grid Ranch with Olive Orchard & Custom Home Discover peaceful, sustainable living on this private 210-acre ranch just off Mines Road. Thoughtfully subdivided into three parcels (each with deeded access), this off-grid property offers self-sufficient living powered by solar, wind, and generators, with a shared well supplying all parcels. The custom home, built in 1996, sits on Parcel 2 and offers a simple, functional layout. Warmth comes from propane and pellet stoves, and while there’s no traditional A/C, cool hilltop breezes and nightly ventilation keep the home comfortable. A highlight of the property is the established olive orchard—about 100 Arbequina trees—complete with its own solar-powered well and irrigation system. There is a mill room with an olive mill from Italy where great quality olive oil is made. Nature lovers will appreciate the abundant wildlife, two ponds, and stunning starry skies free from city lights. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat, a working ranch, or a unique off-grid lifestyle, this property offers endless possibilities. Located 40 minutes from Livermore
