Agent Remarks

First time on the market in decades! Formerly known as Fracchiolla Ranch, this exceptional 40-acre property in the heart of Descanso offers a rare opportunity to own a sprawling estate with 4 separate homes. The property has been subdivided into 4 parcels, and all are included in the sale. Backing up to the Cleveland National Forest, the property offers immediate access to hiking and horse trails, creating a seamless connection to nature. With a seasonal pond and creek, mature oak trees, rolling pastures, and panoramic views, the land exudes a tranquil connection with nature. This property has been operated as a successful horse boarding facility for over 35 years, and has accommodated up to 30 horses at a time. The main residence is a beautifully renovated A-frame home, recently taken down to the studs and thoughtfully rebuilt. Offering 2,518 square feet across the top two levels, this spacious home features four bedrooms, an optional fifth, and two full bathrooms. The ground level includes an additional 764 square feet of flexible space that has served as a ranch office, storage, and laundry area, and an attached 2-car garage. Just behind the main house is a 400-square-foot, 1 bed, 1 bath guest home - ideal for guests or extended family. On the southeast corner of the property sits a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home, approximately 2,000 square feet, complete with an oversized one-car garage and an expansive deck that overlooks the surrounding hills. The fourth home is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home of approximately 800 square feet that is currently tenant-occupied. The land is fully fenced with interior cross-fencing to create multiple grazing areas. Equestrian amenities include a large tack room with extra storage, feeding stalls, wash racks, a riding ring, chicken coop, and a shop. Two Generac generators provide backup power during outages, and Fire Station 45 is next door, offering additional peace of mind. With its breathtaking scenery, versatile land use, and only a 45-minute drive from Downtown San Diego, this unique estate is the perfect blend of rural retreat and convenience. Contact us today for the full details and to experience the beauty of this remarkable property in person.
