PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Set across an extraordinary 86 acres spanning five parcels, the “one-of-a-kind” Golden Crest Ranch Estate and Golden Oaks Park are located in the prestigious La Cresta enclave, where minimum lot sizes are five acres. This is a rare combination of commanding scale, privacy, and breathtaking, unobstructed panoramic views that are truly unmatched. At the heart of the property lies Golden Oaks Park, a private recreational sanctuary set among lush landscapes, ancient oaks, and mature trees. Amenities include a tennis court with pavilion, outdoor fireplace, shuffleboard, horseshoe pit, a 3-hole par-three golf circuit, cowboy fireside camp, round pen, citrus grove, and a scenic overlook. Meandering paths weave throughout the grounds, passing a flowing stream, pond, and waterfall with multiple seating areas designed for peaceful reflection. The gated estate is positioned on a 21-acre knoll, capturing sweeping vistas of rolling hills, cool breezes, and open sky. The main residence spans approximately 8,550 square feet and features 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, along with a separate 1,950-square-foot guest house offering 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The main home was completely renovated in 2022 with no expense spared. It features a grand great room, gourmet kitchen, formal dining room, game room, wet bar, craft room, office, gym, home theater, and wine storage. Elegant living spaces are enhanced by five fireplaces, soaring beam ceilings, and walls of glass that open through bi-fold doors, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The grounds function as a private resort, complete with an infinity pool, spa, putting green, outdoor kitchen, covered pavilion with heaters, outdoor fireplace lounge, and more than 2,500 square feet of expansive decks and covered terraces designed for large-scale entertaining. Beyond the existing improvements, the estate offers exceptional potential for equestrian trails, vineyards, orchards, and additional residences. A barn with infrastructure supports up to 10 horses, further enhancing its versatility. Adding to its mystique, local lore suggests the property was once home to a vibrant gold mine during California’s early mining era. While the mine was never formally documented and is believed to have been abandoned long ago, the legend persists, with reports of flecks of gold occasionally discovered in the pool’s filtration system. The property is further enhanced by a large owned solar field and dual water sources (city and well), providing long-term self-sufficiency and cost efficiency. Additional features include a 6-car oversized garage and extensive infrastructure throughout. This is more than a home – it is a once-in-a-generation estate offering unmatched scale, privacy, lifestyle, and the opportunity to create a lasting legacy.
