Ranch Style Living in Luxurious Newport Beach
Would you be surprised if you saw someone riding a horse while you were enjoying a casual stroll through Newport's Back Bay? You wouldn't be the only one. It's not everyday that you see someone horseback riding in a city like Orange County. But what some of Newport's longest residents don't know is that Orange County is home to several cities that house house-friendly residential properties, and Newport Beach is one of them.
Hidden within the semi-rural, unincorporated area above Newport Bay is the small equestrian community of Santa Ana Heights. Annexed by the city of Newport Beach in the early 2000s, Santa Ana Heights in home to an enclave of vintage homes and newer estates that house both barns and riding arenas right in the city. Shocking to think about as Newport Beach, California is home to some of the priciest real estate in the nation. But these homes are no exception.
While the ranch style ambiance of this neighborhood remains unchanged, the prices of these homes has shifted dramatically. With five properties in this neighborhood currently on the market ranging from roughly $1.5 million to $10 million, the larger properties within this area are beginning to match with real estate values elsewhere across the county.
If you're looking to enjoy both the perks of living coastal without giving up a traditional ranch house lifestyle, then you'll be right at home on one of these luxurious properties. Perfect for both older and newer stable owners, these homes offer acres of space to keep a horse (or two) while also having ample living room for you and your family. It's also secluded from the hustle and bustle of the Peninsula, with the loudest noise being the airplanes leaving and arriving from John Wayne Airport. All in all, it's quite a magical place. One that most beach locals would never expect to find in their backyard.
