As you enter the Loma Manzanita Estate, you're greeted by the lush verdancy of well-watered lands, courtesy of historic water rights from multiple acequias. These meandering ditches are not just waterways; they are threads tying the property to the storied past of the region. Imagine the stagecoaches that are rumored to have stopped here, where horses might have been exchanged amidst the very landscape that today offers a serene respite. The main residence, a testament to artistry and craftsmanship, showcases diamond plaster walls that exude a soft, natural glow. The wooden beams and corbels bear the patina of time, their naturally aged hue whispering tales of the Old West. The expansive galleries, with soaring 15-foot ceilings, stretch grandly, offering an ideal canvas for the art aficionado or the perfect setting for high-end entertainment. Each corner of this approximately 5,000-square-foot adobe estate has been touched by the hand of luxury, from the meticulously applied diamond plaster that adorns every wall to the robust vigas that crown the lofty ceilings. The galleries, envisioned for both art display and gatherings, echo with the potential of soires that blend cultural richness with modern sophistication. ***Listing consists of three properties with access from two roads.
