17499 East South Avenue, Parlier, CA 93648 - Fresno County

This Reedley farm has been under a single ownership for over 60 years. It has a prime location less than 1/4 mile from the Kings River north of Manning between LacJac and the river on a very quiet cul-de-sac road. It features an older ranch home that has been well maintained plus an 800sqft shop. This farm has some of the finest land around.

The home was built in 1942 but has been remodeled thru the years. It is 1,369sqft with 2 bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths and a nice open floor plan with HVAC heating and cooling plus a great woodstove in the living room. The master bath has a neat built in sauna. There is a nice covered front porch and large raised back porch with trellis overlooking the fenced back yard. The home is modest but has been very well maintained. The shop has a rolling door and 220 power. The property does have a Parlier address but you are less than a mile from Reedley.

The real value of the farm is in the land. Soils are mostly Hanford and Grangeville sandy loams with Storie Index ratings of 95 to 100. These are deep, fertile, and well drained soils that are some of the most productive in the world. The land is presently fallow, but in the past has been planted to cherries, Asian pears, apples, plums, and grapes. There is a good well with 10hp pump and the property also can draw water from the Consolidated Irrigation District.

Any negatives? There's very few negatives on this property. The home is older and on the small side but there's plenty of room for additions and it's in good condition.

These prime farm properties seldom come on the market. Land-wise, it's one of the best of the best. The only reason this one is available is that there is no family member able to carry on the farming tradition. So, some fortunate family gets an opportunity to start a new farming tradition. And, as an added bonus, you are less than 600 feet from the water's edge of the Kings River. I wouldn't wait on this one. It will be a hot commodity. Showings are by appointment only.
