See if these help....last I heard, Rancho was owned by man in La Paz and was a "health retreat". There a sad story of a previous owner whose young
daughter died as a result of "inadequate medical care". Family was allegedly looking for treasure. Her small grave is on the site.

Dolores (after the nearby site of the La Pasión/ Dolores-Chillá mission at Rancho La Capilla). They had a website... built an impressive church at
the ranch (can be seen from the road), but the concept failed.
Here are both Rancho La Presa and the La Pasión mission:
