53 Acres in Oroville, CA - $495,000

Mission Olive Ranch

This beautiful 53+/- acre property is located in the foothills of Butte County, just 12 minutes from central Oroville. The land is gently rolling terrain, with an old olive orchard and pasture grasses under the picturesque trees. The history of olives runs deep in Butte County, with John Bidwell planting olives in the late 1880's and Frieda Ehmann, who started a company that birthed the California ripe olive industry.

The orchard on this property has not been tended in many years, but still offers a special ambience and the trees drop their black fruits back to the soil.
