Executive Summary

Established in 1854 by J. West Martin, a Regent of the University of California, Reinstein Ranch is one of the oldest continuously operating ranches in Northern California. On 80 acres in the Historic Livermore Valley, 45 minutes from San Francisco, this is a property that took 170 years to become what it is today. The 1860 draft horse barn still stands on its original footprint. The wheat grown on this soil won a gold medal at the Paris World's Fair in 1900. The Reinstein family arrived in 1884 and carried the land for five generations, building an equestrian operation, a Prohibition-era distillery heritage, and an event venue within walls that have held gatherings since Abraham Lincoln was president. The land sweeps through the valley floor to the surrounding hills. The oak-studded terrain moves through open pasture, hillside, and canyon and boasts a natural spring that has never gone dry, providing abundant water for the ranch for 170 years.
THE EQUESTRIAN FACILITY
Four barns. A covered arena for year-round training. A large outdoor arena. Multiple round pens. Flat, fenced pastures with the kind of turnout access that riders in this region have learned not to take for granted. Tack storage. Thirty horses currently boarding across a client community that has been building for decades.
The facility supports up to 90 horses. That capacity is not theoretical — the infrastructure, the water, and the land are already here. For a buyer looking to scale an equestrian operation in one of the Bay Area's most accessible rural corridors, this is the property that makes it possible without starting from the ground up.
THE LAND
80 acres in the Historic Livermore Valley, 45 minutes from San Francisco. The terrain runs from open valley pasture to oak-studded hills, with Jackass Canyon just to the Northwest. Three producing wells. 37,000 gallons of on-site water storage. Agricultural (AG) zoning. End of road privacy at 8201 Highland Road, Livermore.
THE PROPERTY BEYOND THE HORSES
Reinstein Ranch is not only an equestrian facility. It is an 80-acre platform with four business verticals.
The 1860 draft horse barn — the oldest working structure on the property — has hosted weddings, private events, and film and music video productions. An active federal TTB distillery license, eight barrels of estate-grown wheat whiskey aged seven years, and all production equipment transfer with the sale. Multiple residential structures beyond the Ranch House are currently tenanted. Combined equestrian boarding and tenant income: approximately $400,000 annually.
The wheat grown on this soil won a gold medal at the Paris World's Fair in 1900. The fields are not currently planted. The land is resting. Waiting.
This is a working equestrian operation, a documented piece of California history, and a property that transfers as a functioning business with multiple revenue verticals. Reinstein Ranch has never been sold. Only passed. The opportunity to acquire it exists once.
