40485 Via Caballos

Tucked into the rolling hills of La Cresta, where golden sunsets meet open skies and ancient Engelmann oaks shade the land, lies a rare and beautiful ranchette — a retreat for those who crave space, purpose, and timeless farmhouse charm. Set on flat, usable land in the heart of the Santa Rosa Plateau, this private estate invites you to grow your roots and live in harmony with nature, without sacrificing proximity to the modern world. Behind the gates, you'll find fenced pastures, organic orchards, curated landscaping, and a charming 3-stall barn with turnouts, all designed for peaceful country living. A 100' round pen and direct trail access complete this ideal equestrian setup. The bright, farmhouse-inspired main home is filled with natural light. Large glass doors in the formal sitting room open to the backyard. A quiet office sits just off the entry, and a guest bath and two bedrooms, including a spacious main-level primary suite with fireplace and backyard access. The home lives like a single story, offering ease and comfort. The family room with fireplace flows into a crisp kitchen with center island, dining nook, and a formal dining room, perfect for gatherings and breaking bread with friends. Upstairs, you will find two large bedrooms, a shared bathroom with a walk-in shower and window overlooking the front yard, a workout space, a private sauna, and attic access with potential for expansion or storage. More than just a home, this property offers a complete lifestyle. Adjacent to the main house is a versatile structure with an oversized RV garage, a ground-level guest suite, and studio apartment above, ideal for multi-generaltion living, extended family, staff, or rental income. The guest suite opens to a patio with two cowboy tubs for soaking under the stars. Every inch of this land is usable and purposeful, ideal for homesteading, growing food, or simply enjoying the pace of rural life. With a private well, paid-off solar system, and high-speed fiber internet, you will enjoy sustainable, connected living with minimal utility costs. Though it feels a world away, you're just minutes from the 15 freeway, Temecula, and Murrieta, under an hour from San Diego or Orange County. This is more than a property. It is a sanctuary, a working estate, and a place to build your legacy. Come experience the magic of La Cresta and let this extraordinary ranchette welcome you forever home.
