RIVER RANCH: A true second-home, opened only for the winter months (November through April). Meticulously kept with soaring ceilings, a big dining room table and mountain touches all over. Master King bedroom, pool table and TV Entertainment room are upstairs with a main level King bedroom (that feels like a master) and one King bedroom downstairs next to your Wine Tasting Room! The exterior deck is giant with glass rails to allow 180-degree views over the farm. River Ranch sits on a knoll, up a private driveway so is more private from the rest of the farm, however, our full-time caretakers do utilize the garage as their home base and storage.
