Welcome to the Collins Ranch! The property is a few minutes down the road from the historic town of Snelling, California, and is the perfect mix of being just minutes from town while still having abundant privacy. The main residence is tucked away, buffered from the road by a lengthy private driveway that is fully bordered by mature trees and landscape. The big draw of this 63+/- acre property lies in its water situation. The 43+/- farmable acres of CERTIFIED ORGANIC land is easily irrigated thanks to the property's Riparian water rights from the Merced River. The ponds that border the homes allow the property owner to fish right off the back deck creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxing after a long day with friends and family. While on the deck, the owner can enjoy the sights and sounds of wildlife of all kinds, even the occasional peacock—a favorite of the area's local residents. On the back deck, there is always the chance to sweeten up any summer afternoon with fruit trees and blackberry bushes that meet the water's edge. The property's Main residence is truly unique. It features numerous elements such as a fully enclosed spa room, a library with a fireplace, a sauna in the master bathroom, and a large wraparound porch. Behind the home is a large ADU with an amazing floor-to-ceiling wall of windows that look out over the backyard and ponds. This opportunity for such a unique property does not present itself often. Schedule a time to view the Collins Ranch. We'll see you soon.

A-2
Exclusive General Agriculture Zone
The purpose of the Exclusive Agricultural Zone (A-2) is to provide for areas with considerably expanded agricultural enterprises, due mainly to the requirement of large parcels which are more economically suitable to support farming activities. The 160-acre minimum parcel size facilitates farming and ranching operations and a variety of open space functions that are typically less dependent on soil quality and are often connected more with foothill and wetlands locations; grazing and pasture land; and wildlife habitat and recreational areas. This zone implements the Agriculture (A), Agriculture Residential (AR), Foothill Pasture (FP), and Urban Reserve (UR) land use designations in the General Plan.
