About This Home

As of March 2025

Rancho Sereno is a pristine estate set on 5.63± immaculate acres in Rancho Estates with a main residence, guest house, equestrian facilities and 2 magical ponds. Impeccably maintained and gated, the property is private, serene, and authentically designed in a contemporary southwest vernacular. The 3,590 sf, 3br/3 1⁄2 bth main residence boasts cathedral ceilings, Saltillo tile floors and a floor to ceiling stone fireplace. 2 pristine ponds are connected by a stone waterfall and a central fountain and boat dock provide peaceful ambiance. The horse facilities include a 3 stall barn and 4 sand paddocks which share access to 2 large irrigated pastures. Training facilities include an 80x80 schooling arena surrounded by an 8' wood fence perfect for privacy and focus for horses. There is an... additional 80x80 traditional arena directly adjacent. The storage barns are currently used for hay and equipment but could easily house a car collection or work shop. At the north end sits a private 1 bd/1bth guest house with fireplace and its own entrance off Monarch Drive.
