5 California Estates from Oceanfront Luxury to Olive Groves

Set on both the north and south sides of County Road 19, just five miles northwest of Woodland, this expansive Yolo County ranch is built around a large-scale olive operation. Approximately ±1,498 acres are planted to oil olives established in 2011 and 2012, including ±1,023 acres of Arbequina and ±475 acres of Arbosana—varieties recognized for productivity and oil quality. In April 2026, the planted footprint is slated to expand to ±1,543 acres with the addition of ±45 acres of Arbequina and Lecciana, supported by modern irrigation and trellis systems with 12×5 spacing designed for efficiency and yield. Complementing the working landscape is a beautifully restored six-bedroom residence originally built in 1914 and remodeled in 2022, now serving as the ranch manager’s home, plus a shop and office building with a dedicated conference room. Reliable water resources help keep the operation running smoothly season after season.

Along the water’s edge on Cambria’s coveted Sherwood Drive, this oceanfront mid-century modern estate unfolds behind a gated entrance with a main residence and a privately situated guest home. The single-level main residence is oriented to dramatic, panoramic ocean and white-water views, while the guest home sits just steps from the surf, offering a serene sense of separation accompanied by the soothing sound of the waves. Re-envisioned between 2020–2022 in collaboration with a well-respected architect and custom builder, the entire property pairs a complete coastal-modern transformation with a thoughtful respect for its origins. Refined finishes, warm modern materials, and a gallery-inspired aesthetic set a calm tone throughout. Signature elements—curved wall, semi-circular glass line, exposed beams, and original floor lines—were preserved and enhanced, grounding its sculptural presence along the coastline.

Along the water’s edge on the coveted peninsula of Lake Almanor Country Club, this newer custom estate is shaped by panoramic vistas of Lake Almanor, Mt. Lassen, and the surrounding ranges.

The chef’s kitchen pairs a custom copper range hood with a Wolf six-burner range and double ovens, triple-laminate granite, hickory cabinetry, a prep island, wraparound bar seating, and a walk-in pantry. A main-level primary suite offers lake views, a custom walk-in closet, and Italian tilework with a dual-head shower. Downstairs, a game room, wet bar, and lower deck with an infinity-view jacuzzi set the pace for lake days. Outside, Ipe decks lead to a private dock and LACC amenities.

The primary suite is paired with a spa-like bath, creating a quieter retreat at the end of the day. Outdoors, a true oasis unfolds: a pool and spa, sport court, fire pit, greenhouse, and a covered patio with BBQ for long, unhurried evenings. Owned solar, EV charging, and smart-home technology bring comfort and efficiency, while top schools and shopping sit just minutes away—making daily life feel both connected and calm.
