A 16-stall shed row style barn includes 12x12’ stalls with mats, fans, and a fly spray system. Wash racks and grooming stalls are located at each end of the barn for added convenience, and there’s a large feed room, tack room, laundry, and bathroom in the barn as well. Ride day or night in the professionally installed 125 x 230’ riding arena that is outfitted with 6 high output quartz lighting poles, a viewing stand, hedge border, and railroad ties. A new 50’ round pen and a gated 4 horse eurociser/walker are also present on the property.

All bedrooms are nicely spacious, though the primary suite is the true stand-out with a larger layout and private en-suite with dual vanities, garden tub, and glass-door shower. Those who enjoy hosting will love the large stone paver patio to the back of the home which includes a stone wall and firepit with stunning views of pastures beyond. Two generators are present on the property, one for both the barn and the home. Olive, avocado, and lemon trees are also established on the property, adding even more to enjoy.
