Exceptional Equestrian Estate in a Firewise Community

Welcome to a working ranch that perfectly balances purpose and peace—a rare opportunity to live, work, and thrive on 40 fully fenced, cross-fenced, and irrigated acres in the Sierra Foothills. Designed for serious equestrian and cattle operations, this exceptional estate offers the infrastructure and acreage needed to support breeding, training, and boarding at a professional level. Yet, beyond its world-class facilities, it’s the setting that truly sets it apart: open skies, wide pastures, and the everyday rhythm of ranch life, all in a Firewise community just 20-30 minutes from town.


Whether you're saddling up at sunrise, rotating cattle through irrigated pastures, or winding down by the pond or pool at dusk, this property supports the kind of grounded, hands-on lifestyle that only land can offer. With a luxurious single-level main residence, a caretaker’s ADU, and turnkey amenities already in place, this is more than just a ranch—it’s a legacy property that people dream about—where every sunrise feels like a gift and every sunset is a show.
