Part of a historic cattle ranch rich in Valley history, it has 3 distinct residences totallng over 13,000 square feet allowing for a generational living opportunity. At the center of it all, a 7,700 square-foot manor overlooks the lake, with ancient oaks and rolling lawns visible from almost every room. Its architecture has an old world aesthetic with the refined sensibility of an East Coast estate. The residence remains unfinished, leaving its final expression to its next owner. Open patio areas and a modest lap pool are thoughtfully integrated into the space. In addition, a renovated 4200 square foot farmhouse, including 6 bedrooms and 6 baths, sits across the lake and features sun lit rooms from walls of glass, soaring ceilings and a comfortable country vibe. The possibilities extend across the acreage. At the forefront of the property is a level 20 acres that would lend itself to a regulation polo field or premium vineyard with well above average water resources to support either. The land, water, residences, and existing improvements could support an equestrian estate , working
