TWO 40 acre properties with multiple homes & barns
Grass Valley, Nevada County, California
A Rare 80-Acre Legacy Equestrian Estate | Offered as Two Contiguous 40-Acre Parcels with 4 homes, 2 barns, 2 arenas and numerous outbuildings
Welcome to a truly exceptional equestrian compound—where refined ranch living meets elite, professional-grade horse facilities. Spanning 80 fully fenced and irrigated acres across two contiguous 40-acre parcels (offered together or separately), this legacy estate is purpose-built for serious horsemen, trainers, breeders, and livestock operators seeking scale, infrastructure, and flexibility without compromise.
Behind private gated entrances, the land unfolds into rolling, usable pastures with extensive cross-fencing, abundant water, and a setting designed to support both high-performance equestrian use and long-term agricultural sustainability. The equestrian facilities are truly world-class, anchored by a professional 16-stall matted barn with a climate-controlled office and tack room, a 6-stall mare motel, and multiple training environments including a 150’ x 300’ outdoor arena and a covered 200’ x 80’ arena with lights, windscreens, and premium footing. Additional amenities include a 50’ covered round pen, cutting arena, hot walker, and cattle squeeze—creating a fully self-contained operation capable of supporting training, breeding, boarding, and cattle work at a professional level.
The estate is further enhanced by four separate residences, offering rare flexibility for ownership, staffing, and income potential. These include an elegant owner’s residence, a trainer’s home, an assistant trainer’s home, and a caretaker’s residence—ideal for multi-staff operations, extended family living, or strategic rental use.
The single-story owner’s residence offers approximately 3,862 square feet of open-concept living designed for both everyday comfort and elevated entertaining. The chef’s kitchen features dual islands, a Monogram refrigerator, professional DCS appliances, and a wine refrigerator, flowing seamlessly into the great room and outdoor living spaces. Step outside to resort-style amenities including a solar-heated pool, spa, fire pit, and covered outdoor kitchen, creating an ideal setting for entertaining after a day on the ranch.
The second single-story residence, approximately 3,045 square feet, features an open layout with beautifully updated bathrooms and a bright kitchen with a four-person dining bar, granite slab counters, stainless appliances, a Bosch gas range, hood, and built-in beverage refrigerator. The great room overlooks the second 40 acres and is highlighted by a cozy bay window with built-in seating and a double-sided fireplace. Three en-suite bedrooms + an office complete this residence. An attached ADU includes a full kitchen, great room, bedroom, full bath, and laundry—ideal for extended family, staff housing, or rental income.
The caretaker’s home offers two bedrooms, vaulted ceilings, and a great-room concept with a full kitchen, providing comfortable on-site living while maintaining privacy from the main residences.
The land itself is a standout feature, with rolling hills, extensive cross-fencing, 7–10+ inches of irrigation water, large ponds, a seasonal stream, a small vineyard, and an orchard—offering both beauty and productivity. This is a property designed not only for today’s operations, but for generations to come.
Whether acquired as a complete 80-acre estate or as two individually significant 40-acre parcels, 20839 and 20945 Bear Hollow represent a rare opportunity to own a fully developed, turn-key equestrian compound of this caliber.
