Old Borges Ranch, Historic ranch district in Walnut Creek, US.
The 1,035-acre property features a redwood farmhouse, barns, blacksmith shop, windmill, and vintage tractors in the Mount Diablo foothills.
Portuguese immigrant Francisco Borges established the ranch in 1899, purchasing 700 acres for cattle ranching and building the main house in 1901.
Five generations of the Borges family maintained the ranch's agricultural traditions, representing Portuguese immigrant contributions to California farming.
Visitors can access the ranch via Castle Rock Road, where parking is available at the gated entrance followed by a short walk.
The property maintains active livestock operations with 4-H programs caring for goats, sheep, pigs, and chickens while cattle graze the hillsides.
