Dream Ranch Retreat with Endless Possibilities in Tenaja. Welcome to a place where craftsmanship, comfort, and wide-open space come together. Behind a private gated entry, this custom farm-style ranch in the heart of Tenaja blends rustic charm with refined design. Inside, you’ll find hand-scraped walnut floors with blue ocean marble inlays, 40-foot open-beam wood ceilings, and expansive windows that fill the home with natural light and capture views of the surrounding countryside. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Gaggenau pizza oven, and an oversized island that makes gathering effortless. The great room centers around a stone fireplace and flows seamlessly into the main living spaces. With four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, the main residence offers comfortable luxury, including a primary suite with its own fireplace, dual vanities, and jetted soaking tub. A sweeping staircase leads to an expansive loft and game room with exposed beams and a cozy fireplace perfect for entertaining or unwinding. Outdoors, this 8-acre ranch property truly shines. A private well provides self-sufficiency, while the barn, round pen, and fenced pasture make it ideal for horses, animals, or hobby farming. The sparkling pool, built-in barbecue, and spacious brick-lined patio create an inviting space for gatherings or quiet evenings under the stars. Completing the property is a four-car garage with an ADU above—complete with bedroom, bath, living area, and kitchenette offering flexibility for guests, extended family, or rental potential. Whether you dream of a working ranch, hobby farm, or peaceful homestead, this property offers the freedom, functionality, and beauty of true country living. A rare opportunity to own a Tenaja estate that embodies the best of the Santa Rosa Plateau lifestyle—where every sunrise brings new possibilities.
