California land with an exceptional climate and spectacular views is valuable Analysts say private capital funds and institutional investors are increasingly becoming bigger players in acquiring agricultural real estate, whether high individuals, pension funds, insurance companies or farmland-focused real estate investment trusts.

Farmland is good for the mix in portfolios, said Chris Morris, a manager at LandFund Partners II, a private farmland investment fund. It provides a current yield which is pretty attractive in a world where Treasurys are below 2 percent.

Experts say farmland also serves as a hedge of sorts against inflation.

In California, some areas have seen farmland more than double in value in the past decade. Buffered For Protection In Perpetuity Adjacent National Forest and BLM lands give buffer protection in perpetuity.
