Overview

An ode to a time long ago when cattle outnumbered people on the wide-open California East Bay rangelands, the 502-acre Riley Ranch, five minutes south of Pittsburg, CA, remains one of the last historic cattle ranches in Contra Costa County. Passing through the secure gate to the ranch immediately transports you away from the hustle and bustle of Californias East Bay cities. The homestead consists of a 2, 037-square-foot home with an attached two-car garage and private well, a 2, 550-square-foot horse barn, a 1, 008-square-foot storage barn with concrete floors, and an additional detached two-car garage. Seasonal creeks and ponds, coupled with a developed natural spring with a gravity-fed holding tank, provide ample year-round supply of one of Californias most precious commodities, water, for grazing livestock and property landscaping. Two undeveloped springs exist on the property as well. A cattle lease is in place on the property, presenting a great income-generating opportunity for the new owner. With an average of 265 sunny days per year, youll have abundant opportunities to experience the great outdoors. Savor the picturesque views of the Delta, Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve, and Mt. Diablo while horseback riding, ATVing, biking, hiking, or going on a casual picnic. Being flanked on the west, north, and eastern fronts by the East Bay Parks District, the ranch has additional recreational opportunities nearby, but most importantly, protected open space to preserve revered peace and quiet. Youll be hard pressed to find a serene ranch property of this magnitude and uniqueness so easily accessible to many cities in Californias East Bay and San Francisco. Seize the rare opportunity to purchase your own slice of tranquility.
