Rancho Camulos, Spanish Colonial ranch in Santa Clara River Valley, California

The 1800-acre property includes a twenty-room adobe residence, chapel, brick winery, barns, and farmworkers' accommodations along the Santa Clara River.

The land originated as Tataviam village Kamulus before becoming part of Mission San Fernando in 1804 and later transformed into Del Valle family estate in 1853.

The estate gained recognition as the setting for Helen Hunt Jackson's 1884 novel Ramona, which highlighted California's Spanish colonial and Native American heritage.

Visitors can explore fifteen historic structures through guided tours every Sunday from 1 PM to 4 PM, including the main adobe building and agricultural facilities.

The ranch maintains active citrus production while preserving its 19th-century structures, continuing both agricultural operations and historical preservation simultaneously.
