Thomas Ranch

... is 60 acres located in the small community of Briones and surrounded by 12,000 acres of regional park and watershed. The ranch is equal distance (7 miles) from the East Bay towns Orinda, Pinole, Martinez and Laffayette, just 15 minutes from the nearest BART station and only 30 minutes from Downtown San Francisco.

Horsemanship & Performance

Though close to urban life, the ranch has a rustic, rural, and natural feel. Deer, coyote, herons, red tailed hawk, and numerous other wild species share the ranch with the Thomas's, their horses and other livestock. Some of the barns and dwellings date back to the early 1900's. And cattle graze the hills just as they did when the ranch was headquarters to the Garcia land grant.
