142- Acre Wais Family Ranch First Time Available in 85 Years For the first time in 85 years, the historic 142 acre Wais Family Ranch is being offered to the public, a once in a generation opportunity to acquire one of Northern California's most private, scenic, and legacy rich landholdings. Just a few miles from the Winters City Limits, the Ranch rises into a landscape where the horizon never ends. From nearly every vantage point, you'll experience sweeping 360-degree views across Yolo and Solano Counties and all the way to the distant Sierra Nevada. The entire western boundary fronts a 7, 000 acre protected preserve, ensuring permanent privacy, uninterrupted scenery, and a sense of open space that will remain untouched for generations. Originally composed of five separate parcels, the property was consolidated into a single holding when it entered the Williamson Act in the 1960's, receiving reduced property tax liability in exchange for limiting development. A new owner may file a Notice of Non-Renewal at purchase, beginning the standard nine-year phase out period. Once expired, the land may revert to its original five parcel configuration, unlocking exceptional potential for high end luxury ranch estates or other future development visions. The Ranch sits within an exclusive pocket of just five properties, each positioned for complete seclusion. With no visible neighbors in any direction, the setting offers unmatched serenity, privacy and natural beauty. Or, if desired, property would lend itself to agricultural use as surrounding properties have Walnuts, Almonds and Wine Grapes. The East property line is included in the recently recognized vineyard region, Winters Highlands AVA. Vineyard, Winery, Event Center, there is no limit to the enjoyment or property use potential. Existing improvements include a 2 BR/1bath wood frame cottage, approx 980 sq ft, a domestic well, septic system and 3 phase power, a functional base of operations while you plan the next chapter of this extraordinary property. Outside of that, you have the best raw canvas in the region, the best views, the best privacy, and the best opportunity across three counties.
