The House
This is a single-level home a fireplace, ceiling fans throughout, and a large kitchen with copper countertops and two pantries. The house opens up through french doors to a lawn area and a palapa with outdoor kitchen.

The Ranch
The fully-fenced ranch has a partially-enclosed 5-stall horse barn with tack room, feed room, covered wash rack with concrete pad and wash sink, plus a sloped pasture and round pen. There’s an outdoor shower and outhouse for convenience. You can also board horses in the unused stalls and create your own income! The Santa Margarita River Preserve is just 3 minutes away with renowned trails for horseback riding, hiking, or mountain biking. For gardeners, there's a large, organic garden area with greenhouse and garden shed, plus fruit trees. You can bring chickens or other farm animals – there's no coop now but plenty of room to build one. There is also an aviary and additional small barn/shed. Maximum of 6 horses allowed.
