Located at the upper end of the Moxee Valley in Yakima County, WA, this diverse, irrigated asset consists of permanent crops with a variety of apples and cherries, as well as modern, center-pivot row crop ground - suitable for potatoes, onions, sweet corn, alfalfa, timothy hay, and dozens of others. With an approximate elevation range between 1,750 feet and 2,150 feet, the property has been well planned and meticulously developed including two controlled atmosphere storage facilities, 34 wind machines, as well as senior water rights (first in time, first in right), and is serviced by a network of six deep wells with interconnected main lines.
The Blackrock Property offers incredible diversity and opportunity.
