Please Don't Evict the Horses
Horses at Mission Bell Farms in Sonoma. The 2.7 acre farm, one block from the Sonoma plaza, has been on the market for a few years now. It is the last undivided parcel from General Vallejo's original map of the city of Sonoma. In addition to its well known Clydesdale pasture, the Farm has two barns and a historic 1880's farmhouse. A local trust tried to raise enough money to buy and maintain the property as a working farm, but was only able to raise about half of the offering price of 7.6 million. If purchased by a private buyer, the historic property would most likely be developed into a large number of densely packed residential dwellings.
