Outside the climate controlled steel-framed 25x50 (1250 sf) is an oversized Trane HVAC with solid aluminum ductwork. There are four doors leading into the commercial building. Two are man-door access and two are single-garage roll-up doors. On one side of the state-of-the-art processing plant is a 12x12 walk-in refrigerator. On the other side is a storage/sorting room with separate bathroom and mop room. This building was designed to roast and flavor almonds with expansion in mind. It could easily be converted to a commercial kitchen or a very comfortable welding shop. In front of the commercial building is a 13x20 (260sf) insulated fully electric and plumbed farm stand with a whisper-quiet heat pump. The almond business (Black Shire Almonds) is a successful local business that has expanded during the past five years, with excellent potential to expand much further. It includes a well-developed website for national sales; commercially developed labels, packaging, dedicated local employees, as well as proprietary and distinctive (small batch) flavor recipes, and instructional training of the almond roasting process. Included are 6 acres of almond trees ranging in age from 10 to 19 years. The recent 2023 9,000 pound harvest reflected an increase from the previous year's 6,000 pound harvest. This is being transformed into 23 flavors of fresh-roasted and flavored almonds. There is a 4/2 (2600 sf) home with an open floor plan, large covered patio with views. Through the connected breezeway is a 2 car garage, with an extra large workshop built in. Property has expandable 30 panel solar system. Property also includes a 36x42 (1500 sf) six-stall horse barn, with a tack room, and bathroom/mud room, with attached coral on the outside. Inside, and up the fully-enclosed solid staircase is a hay loft with 2x8 rafters and electric run throughout. Separately, there is a large riding coral with a small three-sided shelter towards the back. This area can be used for riding lessons or rented out as an event venue with the painted shelter used as an open bar. There is a hedge row around most of the property to provide quality food for the needed honey bees.
