Owens Ranch
DESCRIPTION
This pristine, high-fenced property, located off the beaten path yet close to San Diego is accessed via a 1.3-mile crowned, graded caliche road (CR 111), to the property secondary gate and a high-fenced main entrance. Purchased in December 2020, the property has been significantly upgraded. Notable improvements include the construction of an impressive headquarters, meticulously maintained pastures, and the installation of water systems, blinds, and feeders. These enhancements support a well-managed deer herd with improved genetics. The property is currently under MLD hunting status. The property includes a 30-foot access to an adjacent 100-acre parcel south of the 317-acre tract, although this access lies outside the high-fenced area.
