**130-Acre Legacy Ranch with Panoramic Views, Log Home & Unparalleled Privacy**
Surrounded by thousands of acres of protected ranchland, this extraordinary 130-acre estate offers a rare opportunity to own an exceptionally private piece of California's scenic landscape. Bordered by expansive working cattle ranches—including the permanently conserved 10,361-acre Waltz-Turner Ranch—the property enjoys uninterrupted views stretching across rolling hills to the distant coastal range, creating a setting of remarkable beauty and enduring tranquility.
Positioned to capture the surrounding vistas, the custom log home is designed for relaxed country living, with a wraparound porch overlooking a picturesque pond and an ever-changing landscape of open meadows and native oak woodland. The thoughtfully designed residence features two spacious primary suites—one on each level—each with its own en-suite bath, along with an additional bedroom, full guest bath, and dedicated office, providing flexibility for family, guests, or multigenerational living.
The ranch is equally suited for entertaining and everyday comfort, offering a detached guest unit, an oversized two-car garage with built-in cabinetry, and a recently resurfaced saltwater pool that creates a private retreat amid the surrounding countryside. An owned oversized solar system with a proven history of surplus energy production enhances efficiency and sustainability, while multiple storage buildings provide practical space for equipment and ranch operations.
The land is rich in natural resources, featuring seasonal creeks, natural springs, a dependable well, and expansive usable acreage well suited for cattle, horses, recreation, or future improvements. Enrollment in the Williamson Act provides valuable agricultural property tax benefits, further enhancing the property's long-term appeal.
Combining exceptional privacy, protected surroundings, and functional ranch infrastructure, this is a property of rare character and lasting significance—a true legacy ranch offering the opportunity to enjoy, preserve, and pass forward one of California's remarkable rural landscapes for generations to come.
