Formerly a summer art school, Art Ranch of Pescadero, this beautiful property located in Pescadero, CA offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of land in a serene and picturesque setting. The school was founded in 1956 by Marques Rietze, after retiring as head of San Jose state’s art department. Later, the building served as apartments, and was later abandoned. After 40 years of complete neglect, the building was in a sad state. The current owner began to reverse the trend in 2017. The property is being sold as bare land however. You have the freedom to create a custom living space to suit your needs and desires. 45 min to all airports in Bay Area. There is plenty of space for outdoor living, gardening, and recreation, horses, barns, and the like. The property is located in a tranquil area of Pescadero, known for its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere. Surrounded by rolling hills, this location provides a sense of seclusion and tranquility, making it the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Although the property currently has a building, it is not fit for habitation, having no working utilities. The former utilities are derelict -well, septic and electric. The potential for development is vast. Whether you are looking to create a weekend getaway, a full-time residence, or a vacation rental, this property offers a blank slate for you to bring your vision to life.

Planned Agricultural District
The purpose of the Planned Agricultural District is to: Preserve and foster existing and potential agricultural operations in San Mateo County in order to keep the maximum amount of prime agricultural land and all other lands suitable for agriculture in agricultural production., and Minimize conflicts between agricultural and non-agricultural land uses by employing all of the following techniques: Establishing stable boundaries separating urban and rural areas and, when necessary, clearly defined buffer areas.; Limiting conversions of agricultural lands around the periphery of urban areas to lands where the viability of existing agricultural use has already been severely limited by conflicts with urban uses, and where the conversion of such land would complete a logical and viable neighborhood and contribute to the establishment of a stable limit to urban development.; Developing available lands not suitable for agriculture before converting agricultural lands.; Assuring that public service and facility expansions and non-agricultural development do not impair agricultural viability, either through increased assessment costs or degraded air and water quality., and Assuring that all divisions of prime agricultural land (except those stated in (b)) and all adjacent development does not diminish the productivity of prime agricultural lands and other land suitable for agriculture.
