Welcome to this stunning home, thought to be designed by renowned mid-century architect Cliff May, famous for his iconic ranch-style homes that harmonize beautifully with the California landscape. Featuring classic adobe construction and a unique design, this property embodies the timeless elegance and craftsmanship that defines May’s work. While the exact origin of the design remains unverified, the home’s architecture strongly reflects the signature style that made Cliff May a household name in California design.
Nestled on a spacious 2.16-acre lot, this historic Ranch Adobe home offers the perfect blend of charm, character, and endless possibilities. The property boasts a remarkable foundation made of quartz, potentially sourced from the nearby Quartz Mine, adding an intriguing and natural element to the home’s structure.
The lush grounds feature an abundance of fruit trees, including plum, guava, orange, peach, and olive trees, offering a serene and fruitful backdrop for your lifestyle. Beautiful garden beds and strategically placed cactus plants add to the desert-inspired landscaping, creating a unique and tranquil outdoor sanctuary perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation.
The property provides ample space for all your hobbies and toys, featuring a 9-stall barn with an apartment that’s ripe for creative renovation, as well as a two-car garage with an additional apartment just waiting to be transformed. Inside the main home, you’ll find a cozy wood-burning fireplace, an abundance of natural light pouring in from large windows, and a separate entrance that opens up potential for an in-law suite or private guest quarters.
With so much history and incredible potential, this unique property is a must-see. Plus, RV hookups are available for added convenience. Whether you’re looking for a tranquil home with character or a property with extraordinary investment potential, this is the one for you!
