15-ACRE VERY PRIVATE EQUESTRIAN RANCH IN TENAJA! Even though it is just minutes to town, you will feel worlds away at this private sanctuary on the Santa Rosa Plateau, adjacent to La Cresta. Conveniently located off Avenida La Cresta, a lovely long driveway leads you past mature ancient oak trees and paid-for solar system to the mostly single-story home with pool, spa, shade trees and a panoramic view of the Ecological Reserve. It is simply magical. Inside the newly reroofed 4452 sf home is a beautifully remodeled kitchen, which opens to the family room with its fireplace and soaring ceiling. Past the kitchen find a laundry room, half bath and epic dog wash. Also downstairs is the living/game room with fireplace and large office with its own bathroom (could easily become another bedroom!). The primary suite is a real retreat, with its own fireplace, glass doors to the back yard, and spacious ensuite bathroom with a dramatic copper soaking tub.
