additional outbuildings provide further utility.
From its sweeping ridgetop vistas and expansive valleys to its thriving tule elk habitat and rich homesteading
heritage, the Pritchard Sumner Ranch presents a unique canvas for legacy-minded ownership. About 8,025.97 ±
acres are under the Williamson Act for significant property tax benefits.
