If you ever dreamed of being a gentleman farmer living in the hills of Italy but didn’t want to leave Southern California, you have found your place in the Tuscan sun. Lemon orchards and imported Italian olive trees share the contiguous lots with the Tuscan-inspired ~5,000 sq ft home. Additional residences are nicely sited to allow for privacy and contemplation. A short drive from the I-5 at Ortega Highway transports you to the thoughtfully designed landscape and architectural reminiscence of the Mediterranean coast. Over 20,000 Eureka lemon trees, various grapefruit and tangerine trees, and approximately 1,000 Pistoia olive trees comprise the ranch. Details abound with statuaries, ponds, wildlife, a studio, private chapel, wine and cigar lounge, guest and staff quarters… the list continues. This unique combination of ranch and residence can serve many purposes for the right client. This property is well-suited for many types of retreats, be they creative, (art studio, recording studio, other), rehab, or meditative.
