Black Mountain Ranch, the 1,200-acre property at the northern entrance to Point Reyes Station, is changing hands. Marcel Houtzager, a Dutch money manager from Ross and a supporter of agriculture in West Marin, is purchasing the land from Dave Osborn for $8.8 million. They are anticipating finalizing the sale in the coming weeks, and already Mr. Houtzager is making significant improvements. It’s only the third sale since Mexico granted the land as a ranch in 1849.
