Description
Originally built in the mid-1940s, El Rancho Hacienda is a rare enclave of seven individual adobe-style casitas set on five serene acres. Designed as a rural Southern California interpretation of the classic bungalow court, the property is held as Tenancy in Common, sharing many characteristics with a Planned Unit Development.
485 Mountain Drive is now available for the first time since its purchase from the original owner in the 1970s--an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of local history.
This enchanting Southwestern adobe home features two bedrooms and one bathroom, authentic Mexican tile floors, soaring beamed ceilings, and a cozy fireplace
A detached structure offers flexible use as a laundry room, office, or art studio.
The indoor-outdoor living experience is truly special,
Supplements: with patios and grounds that evoke a private botanical garden- lush, tranquil, and completely removed from the everyday. The expansive lot is meticulously landscaped, featuring vegetable gardens and mature fruit trees. Minutes from the Mission, and steps from the Sheffield Reservoir walking trails, this is a property that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate its beauty, character, and sense of escape.
