Have you ever been curious what it would be like to live on a western ranch?
These experiences and more are awaiting you at A bar K Flying Horse Ranch…
Escape to the extraordinary at Rancho Capistrano, a unique and family-friendly ranch retreat nestled within the scenic Cleveland National Forest atop the Ortega Mountains. This exquisite, private custom ranch home offers forever views of the valley and a central location that puts you within easy reach of Disneyland's Anaheim, Southern California's beautiful beaches, and the renowned Temecula Wine Valley.
As you step through the gates of this exclusive neighborhood, you'll be captivated by the natural beauty that surrounds you. Enormous pine and ancient oak trees create a picturesque canopy over the meandering horse and hiking trails, while a diverse array of birds, animals, and wildflowers paint a timeless backdrop that pays homage to the area's rich history since 1845.
Built in 2011, this custom masterpiece boasts hand-crafted wood beams, high-end flooring, and natural stone finishes that add a touch of elegance to every corner of the home. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping views of southern California, ensuring you never miss a moment of the stunning scenery.
The heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen, complete with a sprawling center island that's perfect for both meal preparation and large social gatherings. Whether you're dining at the custom western-inspired dining table, enjoying the outdoor patio with its real wood-burning fireplace, or arranging a special barn dining experience set up just for you, every meal will be a memorable occasion. And don't forget to end the evening with s'mores by the eclectic mining campfire pit located on the property.
The kitchen seamlessly flows into an open-area dining and family room, where you'll be enchanted by the cathedral A-frame design and the forest views that stretch to the skyline. Relax in front of the smart TV, bring and then grab your favorite drink from the wine refrigerator or bar setup, or cozy up by the selectable colored electric fireplace.
The master suite is a haven of luxury, featuring a private patio for savoring morning coffee or evening wine. It also boasts a smart TV, an ensuite bathroom with separate shower and tub, and imported natural stone finishes that add a touch of opulence. The oversized secondary bedrooms are flooded with natural light and offer ample space for rest and relaxation. One of the bedrooms is western-inspired, complete with a sitting area and a smart TV, while another features a whimsical bird theme that reflects the surrounding mountain environment. The secondary ensuite guest bathroom is a true testament to the highest level of custom finishes, with its ranch-inspired black and white motif and a shower tub.
Ascending the stairs, you'll discover a sprawling bonus room that serves as a semi-private bedroom with a king bed, a movie room, and a bar/pool table area. This space also boasts its own balcony, offering yet another vantage point to enjoy your morning coffee or engage in some exercise.
With 3 king beds, 1 queen bed, and 2 twin beds, the home comfortably accommodates large families or groups of friends. The side yard features a delightful patio with ample shade and a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cooler nights. You'll also find a swim spa/hot tub with an elevated deck that provides stunning views of the property, including one of the charming ponds where ducks often visit.
But the true highlight of Rancho Capistrano lies in its real working barn, designed with a saloon theme and wine bar and adorned with chandelier lighting. Here, you can immerse yourself in a host-table set up for your dining experience or simply enjoy the company of the on-site pet-able horses, mini donkeys, and Nigerian Dwarf goats. The owners or their ranch assistant quietly tend to the animals every two days in the morning or evening, and you're welcome to join them during these times for a more intimate experience.
At Rancho Capistrano, all spaces are accessible for your enjoyment, except for the stalls inside the barn and the turnout area connected to the barn where the animals roam. The property offers locked metal shops and sheds exclusively for owner use, ensuring your privacy and security. Some drawers and cabinets within the home are locked for storage purposes.
During your stay, don't hesitate to bring your furry friends along. With prior approval, pets are welcome inside the house or can be comfortably accommodated in a kennel. The property also features a fenced backyard, allowing your pets to roam freely.
We want your experience at Rancho Capistrano to be nothing short of exceptional. Let us know if you'd like your pets to visit with you, and we can discuss the various on-site accommodations available. Additionally, we invite you to indulge in a chandelier and hay bale dining in the barn, where we will beautifully set the table for you while you bring your favorite food and drinks.
Throughout the year, the ranch is beautifully decorated for holidays, adding an extra touch of magic to your stay. The house itself features three bedrooms on the lower level, while the game room with pool table, co-serves as a fourth bedroom, is located upstairs along with a half bathroom. You can enter the house through the stairs at the front door or choose the no-stairs option via the carport/hall entrance. Covered parking spots are available for two vehicles, and ample on-site parking is also provided for additional parking, including hitching posts if you'd like to hire a horse trail riding guide to come directly to the ranch.
