Description

 

Ballena Vista Farm is an exceptional estate that exemplifies luxury, functionality, and natural beauty. Set amidst rolling ranchland, the property boasts an architecturally stunning main residence designed by Joseph McCarter and built by David McGuiness. The primary home features intricate hand-carved wood and ornate stonework that balance tradition with contemporary elegance. Its open, light-filled spaces offer panoramic views, luxurious amenities, and a chef's kitchen equipped with professional-grade appliances and abundant workspace. The home includes dual primary suites with ensuite bathrooms and walk-in closets, providing privacy and versatility.

Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a resort-like pool area, a gourmet outdoor kitchen, and a spacious patio offering a seamless indoor-outdoor transition. Guests are well accommodated with a thoughtfully designed guest house, three additional casitas, a guest apartment, and six modular homes.

Ballena Vista Farm is a haven for equestrian enthusiasts, featuring world-class equine facilities. These include a luxury 8-stall stable, an additional 38-stall stable with office space, a riding arena, a ¼-mile training track, Equi-ciser, round pens, and extensive paddocks and pastures. The infrastructure supports equestrian activities and offers the flexibility for alternative uses.

The estate also includes a working vineyard with 40+/- acres of grape varietals, perfect for crafting a private wine label or expanding viticulture operations. Existing structures may be converted into a first-rate winery, enhancing the estate's potential.

Additional features include a sophisticated water system with multiple private water wells and 400,000 +/- gallon of storage capacity, ensuring efficient irrigation. The property also boasts one of San Diego County's largest independent solar fields, a sizable workshop with eight vehicle bays, well-maintained roads, three seasonal ponds, and a family fruit orchard. These elements combine to provide sustainability and convenience for a wide range of uses.

Zoned A72 with an "O" animal designation, the estate supports diverse agricultural and equestrian activities. The Williamson Act Land Contract further enhances its value by reducing property taxes on the assessed land value.
