Three additional residences provide incredible flexibility, including a beautifully restored historic home originally built in 1906, a charming lake house, and a separate rental home, ideal for extended family, guests, caretakers, or income-producing opportunities. Equestrian facilities rival some of the finest private training properties in Northern California. Highlights include a 21,600 square foot covered arena with automatic push-button doors that create a unique indoor-outdoor riding experience, a 7,560 square foot show barn, 6,750 square foot mare motel, 6,400 square foot feed barn, outdoor arena, and more than 20,000 feet of steel pipe fencing. The established vineyard continues the property's agricultural heritage and is supported by owned solar, agricultural-rate water, and extensive ranch infrastructure. Beyond the residences and ranch improvements, the property has become a sought-after destination for luxury weddings, corporate retreats, equestrian events, private celebrations, and outdoor concerts overlooking the lake. It is equally suited as a private family compound, premier equestrian ranch, working vineyard, luxury event venue, or multigenerational retreat. Properties of this scale, quality, and versatility are rarely available. Fewer still have earned a reputation as a place where families gather, traditions begin, and unforgettable memories are made.
