3. National Register of Historic Places nomination form. This was a draft from 2016 (a 2023 one has not yet been available as of mid-2026): the Gottfried Maulhardt Farm was added to the NROHP, with its contributing properties (farmhouse, winery, etc.)
As the pioneer settlement of the first farmers in the Oxnard Plain, which represents the settlement patterns of Austro-Prussian war German refugees as well as the humble beginnings of what is now the largest in, city and cultural hub of, the California Central Coast, the Maulhardt, Gottfried Farm is significant at the local level. Given its significance in the areas of agriculture, German European ethnic heritage, exploration/settlement, architecture, and social history, the property qualifies under (certain) criteria. The farms period of significance,1872-1905, is derived from the construction date of the Farmhouse, oldest extant building on the property (1872), to the date the property was sold to the Pfeiler family (1905) following Gottfried Maulhardts death.
