ORIGINAL OWNER SALE. Nestled amidst 137 acres of native vegetation, wildlife, seasonal streams and a pond, are 4 acres of Merlot grapes (some vines are 40+ years old) and tons of open space to trek across. The splendor of the Meador Family Ranch showcases how they lived and hosted guests. Key to the enjoyment of this wide open expanse, is a unique home by architect Sim Bruce Richards. The home marks the historical transition away from serving as a cattle ranch to a family horse property. While the house serves as a contemplative home base, only a short walk away the owners crafted a stone meditation chapel to complete their engagement with land as a place of serenity and magical family gatherings. Serviced by a deep, reliable well, the property is also in the Ramona Water District. Additionally, there are three more sites on the land serviced by water, electricity, and septic. Consider your family's future legacy at Meador Ranch.
Close to the San Vicente reservoir, the Meador family property borders the Boulder Oaks County Preserve, part of the Multiple Species Conservation Program, which preserves San Diego's native habitats and wildlife. Thanks to this border, the neighboring land will reportedly never be developed. This Preserve hosts coast live oak woodland, open Engelmann oak woodland, southern mixed chaparral, scrub oak chaparral, southern willow scrub and freshwater marsh. Additionally, seasonal pools, vernal pools and an array of animal species (including deer, turkeys, quail, and rabbits) flourish. The Boulder Oaks Preserve is not open to the public.
