American Ranch

Chapter 74 Dry Lake Valley Ranch

Dray Lake Valley, Chen Mo and the others walked here a few days ago...

The plains between the hills on both sides are very flat land, with lush pastures growing.

This is seasonally ancient, with drier summers in Northern California.Autumn and winter will have good rainfall...

There are no lakes, no rivers, only valleys.

If several ponds of two or three acres count as lakes, then forget it.

Bai Xiaoou's college classmate, Jerry, introduced the Dray Lake Valley to Chen Mo endlessly. The land on both sides of Route 25 belonged to their company, and the hills to the west belonged to their company.

The hills are all grass, and occasionally a few tall oaks serve as scenery.

The plain land has been cultivated all year round, and it has been very flat. In the distance are hills that are undulating and getting farther and higher...

The forests have already been cut down, and these hills can be used as grazing land, and can also be opened up as vineyards, orchards, etc.

This is a high mountain in the Coastal Mountains, with an altitude of only 500 meters, not a particularly high altitude, and it is not particularly cold even in November.

The sun is shining today and the temperature is good.The air is not dry, and the sun is very comfortable on the body, which is Chen Mo's favorite environment.

The valley of Dry Lake is very long. Garrison Investment Company owns 2470 acres of land in the valley, all of which have been cultivated into fields and have several years of cultivation records.Downstream of the river valley, west, a valley basin, where Chen Mo finally saw the river, a small reservoir... The area of ​​the flat land is 1750 acres.

The rest are hills, most of which are not steep, and the hills are covered with lush grass, which is very suitable for grazing.The total area is 2.69 acres.

Big...

Even though I once owned a snow mountain pasture, I still feel that this place is very big.

A white modern-style villa next to a small reservoir has a swimming pool of more than [-] square meters in the front yard.Entering the villa, first pass a walnut orchard, a large farm field, and then see the vineyard, turn right and enter the villa.

This villa probably covers an area of ​​[-] to [-] square meters. If you count the front yard, the tennis and basketball courts on the left, the stables, the racecourse, the lawn on the right, and the lawn from the backyard to the reservoir... The land area is probably twenty or thirty acres.

The whole area is the most interesting point here, especially the second floor of the villa. Even Chen Mo was shocked to see the undulating mountains opposite the reservoir.

Although there is no endless grassland here, no towering and steep snow-capped mountains.But there are undulating mountains and towering mountains, especially the vivid colors between the hills, which are simply natural works of art.

"Mr. Chen Mo, you are quite satisfied with the Dry Lake Valley Ranch." Jerry said with a smile, walked to the corner and lifted the white cloth on the table, revealing an exquisite ranch sand table: "This is all about the Dry Lake Valley Ranch, Without a sand table, the only way to see the entire ranch is by helicopter.”

There are many slightly smaller valley basins among the hills of the Dry Lake Valley Ranch. At the same time, the sand table shows the traffic road map of the entire ranch...According to their original plan, it should be divided into a dozen or even Dozens of pieces of land.Plant vines or other fruit trees, or plan to make exquisite pastures...a piece of land to build a villa is a good real estate.

There are many similar farms, ranches, plantations, and small wineries as mentioned above in the Coastal Mountains.

Especially when it comes to Paso Robles, Santa Barbara County, these country houses are used by rich people for vacation, usually one or two workers take care of them...

The customer base of Dry Lake Valley is also the wealthy in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is only more than [-] kilometers away from San Jose, and the transportation is quite convenient.

"It's okay." Chen Mo rubbed the tip of his nose: "I want to know how many water rights this place has. In addition to the reservoir outside, a few seasonal streams, how many wells can be drilled on the ranch."

"19 mouths." Jerry smiled shyly, he was reluctant to answer this question.

There are 19 wells, which means that only 19 properties can be developed on such a large area of ​​land.The market capacity of large-scale holiday ranches is very limited, and a large amount of money needs to be squeezed. If they can be resold at one time, why not do it.

Their company also has many large projects in Santa Barbara County and Half Moon Bay in San Francisco, so it is best to get the funds back quickly.

"Can you build an open-air pond by yourself?" Chen Mo asked.

"Yes... If you plan to build a large ranch, there is no problem at all."

Chen Mo likes the scenery here, it feels pretty good.Then I took out my mobile phone to locate this place, and clicked on Google Maps to have a look...

The most west of the pasture is only six or seven kilometers to the Salix River Valley Plain.The Salix River Valley Plain is also the valley plain in the southeast of Monterey Bay. There are many dirt roads that can go directly...

"how much is it?"

"3.5 million." Jerry laughed.

"Go and grab it. Bye...don't give it away." Chen Mo lost interest in an instant.

There is no sincerity in this offer.

Chen Mo might as well just buy the Duluke Manor directly. The mansion there is bigger, with more complete facilities, and has more water rights, as well as some logging rights in the manor.

The Duluke Manor has 4935 acres and the asking price is 1.35 million. Chen Mo is planning to wait for a while and lower the price on his own initiative. If there is no accident, he should be able to get it within 1 million US dollars.That piece of land is not as large as this one, but its location is good, and its appreciation potential is greater in famous wine producing areas.

Chen Mo couldn't play his cards out of the routine, so he turned around and left...

Jerry looked at Bai Xiaoou with an embarrassing smile on his face, and Bai Xiaoou made a helpless expression... Jerry quickly caught up: "3.5 million is the estimated price. I wonder how much Mr. Chen Mo is willing to pay?"

"I am a straightforward person, and the price is 1.5 million." Chen Mo blinked... It seems that the price is too low.

"If you really plan to buy it, I will try to find the most suitable price for you when I return to the company. But 1.5 million yuan is too low to make a deal."

Chen Mo looked at Bai Xiaoou...

Bai Xiaoou shrugged helplessly.

He didn't know much about the land price here, so he couldn't give an accurate price.

The selling point of the Dry Lake Valley is the scenery and a whole piece of land.Such a large piece of land is very rare in the whole of California.Especially in the Coast Mountains of south central California...

For example, the Valley Ranch listed by the Bright family has an area of ​​1.1 acres and a listing price of 1.4 million US dollars.

The area of ​​the Dry Lake Valley Ranch is more than twice that of the Valley Ranch. Although most of them are hills, this volume is placed here.

Jerry gave Chen Mo a formal offer of 2.9 million the next day.

Chen Mo returned 2 million...

On the third day, Jerry replied again with 2.8 million...

On the fourth day... on the land transaction website, the Duruk Manor and the Valley Ranch collectively dived, quoting 1 million and 1.3 million respectively.

Chen Mo didn't reply to Jerry again. Two days later, Jerry offered another 2.5 million...

Chen Mo is busy dealing with the stocks in his hands. Recently, the U.S. stocks have skyrocketed, and it seems that the bull market is coming.Chen Mo is not greedy, as long as he doesn't lose money, he will sell quickly...

Chen Mo held the stock worth 1.55 million US dollars for a short time. After deducting the stamp duty, he got 1.582 million US dollars, a small profit of 320 million.

2.5 million quotation, even if the price can be reduced, the reduction will not be too large...

Chen Mo raised the price several times...Garrison Investment Company finally let go again, 2.485 million, no less.After confirming that the expenses incurred during the transaction would be shared equally by both parties, and some other things, Chen Mo contacted his lawyer and bought the ranch happily.
