OWN A PRIZED PIECE OF SAN DIEGO HISTORY: A PRIVATE RETREAT IN THE HISTORIC 4,500-ACRE CORTE MADERA RANCH! Don’t miss the extraordinary opportunity to own one of ten exclusive estates in this historic ranch nestled just south of Pine Valley. This ranch totaling 4,500+/- (forty-five hundred) deeded acres operates as a commonly held corporation with each individual homesite owner entitled to one of ten equal shares of this jointly held ownership community. At the heart of Corte Madera Ranch and overlooking the spectacular 65+/- acre seasonal lake at its peak, lies a 13.09-acre private estate featuring a sprawling 1920s craftsman ranch-style homestead. ~ Designed by renowned architect Richard Requa, this masterpiece blends American Craftsman influences with Mission stylings, offering both historical allure and contemporary conveniences. Perfect for family, friends, and guests with an abundance of options for relaxing, entertaining and accommodations, this estate includes: a 1,989 sf 3-bed, 3- bath main house; 483 sf carriage house with 2-bed, 1-bath, plus a loft; 600 sf 2-bed, 1-bath guest house; multi-bay detached garage-workshop; three stall barn, basketball-pickleball court, and an impressive pool area with an outdoor kitchen, modern 512 sf pool house, changing rooms and cabana. ~ Corte Madera Ranch is home to pristine seasonal ponds, an expansive lake, and abundant wildlife, plus direct access to thousands of acres of the surrounding Cleveland National Forest, making it a sanctuary for nature enthusiasts. The ranch offers a unique blend of natural splendor and recreational opportunities, including hiking, mountain biking, bass fishing, and skeet shooting. ~ Ownership includes an individually owned homesite and a 1/10th ownership in the entire Rancho Corta Madera Corporation, providing the advantages of a big ranch without the full maintenance and holding cost responsibilities. A reliable source of water is maintained through the community shared and maintained water well system. A dedicated on-site ranch foreman manages the vast ranchland, including a cow-calf operation and horse stables, where owners can stable their horses with miles of trails for riding making this an incredible retreat for equestrian enthusiasts. ~ This secluded gated ranch, with its picturesque mountains, pastures, forests, and ponds, epitomizes quintessential country living, all within an hour of downtown San Diego. Experience unparalleled natural resources and the benefits of this hidden paradise with life at Corte Madera Ranch, a cherished part of San Diego’s heritage.
