Description

Rancho Corona Del Valle rests gently against the Angeles National Forest. Its 333 acres of pastures, aged oaks, storied 17 stall barn, and charming abodes command views across the famed Tejon Ranch. Here, located between 700,000 acres of Angeles National Forest and the 270,000 acre Tejon Ranch, you'll enjoy the expansive and private feeling of a big Texas ranch while only being one hour from Los Angeles. Rancho Corona Del Valle is steeped in history and has hosted several Hollywood legends. The ranch was long ago owned by the same family that held Westwood and the land where UCLA now stands. After its place in the Classic Hollywood film era, Rancho Corona Del Valle was a coveted quarter horse racing farm, known for horses like Top Rocket, and other steeds' illustrious wins at Los Alamitos racetrack. A yearly race in their honor continues. The main four bedroom hacienda of 4200 s.f. dates to 1883, and is jeweled with Batchelder tile, a romantic courtyard, old wooden doors, a peaceful veranda overlooking pastures and valleys, simply too many architectural treasures to name. The four guest homes ranging from 900-1800 s.f., are charming, reflecting a rich vintage ranch esthetic. In addition to the five residences there are five cottage/bungalows dotted throughout the property. On warm days jump in the swimming hole, a large water reservoir seated at the crown of the hill with breathtaking views (appx 80 ft wide x 50 ft long x10 ft deep). This ranch has fantastic natural water/wells, and a 30,000 gallon holding tank. Ride the ranch's dirt roads and trails, gallop the old furlong race track (currently needing new footing and fencing), pick fruit from the orchard (apricot, nectarine, peaches, apple, pomegranate, plum, cherry), practice riflery at the shooting range, or venture into the hills to feel the glory of nature.
