9975 Tyler Rd - Haleakala Walnut Processing and Land

Haleakala Ranch at 9975 Tyler Road offers a unique opportunity to own a turnkey walnut processing facility and orchard with significant value-add. Situated across only two contiguous parcels, this 516-acre property is vertically integrated to grow, hull/shell, fumigate, sort, process, and package walnuts. The orchard consists of ±453 acres of producing walnuts, where the walnut trees vary in age and variety and is irrigated by water from six agricultural wells. Two wells are approximately 400 feet deep, while the others are about 250 feet deep to service all 453 planted acres, running on average 2,000 gpm. Smaller domestic well services the processing facility, and a solid set of sprinklers are mixed with micro-sprinklers and drip lines in other sections of the ranch. 9975 Tyler Road is part of the Sacramento River watershed, contributing to the clean well water servicing the crop and facility.

Across the site, multiple different buildings are hosting the processing plant operations. The commercial processing facility with a built-in loading dock and attached office building is 34,000 square feet. The dryer building is approximately 12,000 square feet and houses four banks of steel dryer bins with a total capacity of 240 tons. The huller building is about 3,700 square feet with three sides open aired, where the huller has an average hourly capacity of 15 tons.

For added efficiency in operations, overhead conveyors have been installed, so once a walnut is dropped into the huller pit, it does not need to be touched by a person until it comes directly out of the cracking line. The fumigation building consists of two separate chamber facilities with a total capacity of approximately 228,000 pounds of in-shell walnuts, where the chamber can easily be converted to cold storage. A single-family home is located at the front of the property, ideal for a live-in operator to watch over the facility. Additional outbuildings with varying uses include bin storage, equipment storage, a chemical room, a full bathroom, Silos, and numerous fuel tanks.

Investors will find a significant upside to this business opportunity, from savings to financing. Solar systems on site are owned outright, and the property is part of the Williamson Act Enrollment, providing substantial cost savings to new ownership. Also, the current owner is willing to negotiate seller financing options. The 2023 walnut crop is to be included in the sale. 9975 Tyler Road is close to Interstate 5, providing a seamless north-south connection to the west coast and supporting business distribution. Take advantage of this unique turnkey opportunity with great potential to develop a thriving business.
