The most special place !!! This hacienda-style adobe pool home with detached guest quarters/ADU is situated just perfectly right on a lovely 15-acre spread. This is Old Mine Road, in an incredibly scenic and historic portion of Ranchita, with westward views and more cover from the elements that can be a little more wild, further east toward Borrego Springs, on the wide-open portions of town. Gorgeous plaster, saltillo tiles, murals, and mosaics speak to the heyday of this excellent ranch, once an Angeleno museum owner's and artists' retreat in the 1930s and 1940s. There is a small "servant's" quarters off the kitchen, and a very practical root and wine cellar beneath that wing of the home. There are multiple outbuildings for storage, workshop, a small adobe stable for horses or burros or goats and sheep, and another outbuilding was converted to be more habitable, possibly for guests or moody teenagers, or maybe it has a future as an upscale "catio" or chicken palace! More recent stewards of the ranch have updated countless necessities as well as creature comforts, including the addition of a small orchard and garden, a vineyard, and of course, the resort-like pool and sun deck with pizza oven, hearth, and outdoor kitchen. A winding path will take you to the upper elevation of the acreage where you can look out over the beginnings of a lavender farm, perfect for this elevation and climate, and other plantable areas. You can also still spy the remnants of yet more art installations from bygone days, as well as the views over miles of open space, distant night sky observatories, and some of the most gorgeous sunsets you will ever see. This has been a very popular airbnb the last 9 years. Offered fully furnished for you to continue as such, or keep this as your own private hideaway.
