Not Just Horsing Around in Lucas Valley

Reading fellow maven Alison Ching’s Of Equestrians and Vineyards blog the other day jolted my memory about an unbelievable property I had browsed (and dreamt) about on Redfin.

Located in north San Rafael, along scenic Lucas Valley Road, this nearly 9 acre property was lovingly built not just for your average horse lover.  With a competition arena (yes, you can be practicing jumps in your very own back yard) and a gorgeous barn (these are very happy horses), this estate is for serious equestrians.

Not only are the horse facilities completely impressive, the rest of the property is designed for playing hard after riding hard.  There is a wine room for holding, sitting and enjoying your 500+ bottle collection.  The resort like grounds contain a magical swimming pool, complete with waterfall.  And as you recline back on your poolside lounge chair, you can relax and stare off at the peaceful rolling hillsides.

Living space is well over 6,000 square feet.  With 4 bedrooms and 6 baths, the home is just as dramatic and grand as the grounds. 

So, if $7 million is within your budget, gallop…. don’t trot to 1499 Lucas Valley Rd.
