John Wayne's onetime ranch is selling for $8 million. Is a pot farm in its future?

John Wayne’s onetime 2,000-acre ranch in Riverside County is for sale, and among the possible uses, the marketing pitch says, is a place to grow marijuana.

Other scenarios posed include vineyards, horses, cattle, shooting, hunting, a private retreat or a sports camp. But one can’t overlook this suggestion: “possible cannabis cultivation.”

Rancho Pavoreal is located in Sage, a small agricultural community 10 minutes away from Temecula wine country, as real estate agent Tatiana Novick of Coldwell Banker, who represents the ranch, describes it in her listing. “A riot of mesas and meadows laced with gurgling streams. Miles of chaparral and clusters of stately oaks. A mountain that American Indian considered a deity. Herds of deer, golden eagles overhead, enough wildlife to stock a zoo,” she says of the setting on Facebook.

The seller of the ranch, listed in April, is seeking $8 million. The property went off the market and was relisted in November, according to the MLS. Wayne died in 1979 at 72.
