WESTSIDE ELLENSBURG EQUESTRIAN RANCHETTE COVERED ARENA TRAIL ACCESS PRIME LOCATION Rare opportunity to own an equestrian-focused 5+ acre ranchette in one of the most coveted rural corridors of Ellensburg's Westside. Located at the gateway to the Manastash recreation area and just one block from the Manastash Ridge trail system, this property offers a unique combination of horse infrastructure, recreation access, privacy, and long-term lifestyle value. The centerpiece of the property is the impressive covered riding arena - a feature that is increasingly difficult and expensive to recreate today. Supporting improvements include a 4-stall barn with tack room, detached shop, garage, and a solid 1970's ranch-style home ready for its next chapter. The home offers strong bones and an ideal opportunity for a new owner to bring their own design vision and personal touch. The layout and setting create exciting possibilities for those seeking a private equestrian retreat, multigenerational living, or a horse-centered hospitality concept. One compelling vision for the property would be to transform the existing ranch house into a short-stay or guest-focused experience while constructing a new ADU or barndominium on the property's premier view site overlooking Manastash Ridge. The setting is exceptional: - Kitty-corner from Orrion Farms, a renowned Arabian breeding estate - Minutes from hiking, riding, recreation, and downtown Ellensburg - Near Brick House Nursery wedding venue and event destination - Surrounded by some of the area's most sought-after rural properties For the right buyer, seller may consider inclusion in a private equestrian and recreation membership concept connected to nearby Elk Heights Ranch - offering access to additional riding experiences and stewardship-oriented recreation opportunities in the Cascade foothills. This is not simply a turnkey suburban product - it is a rare opportunity for the buyer with vision to shape an exceptional equestrian lifestyle property in one of Ellensburg's most sought-after rural settings. The true value here lies in the combination of location, arena infrastructure, trail access, privacy, and the opportunity to create something deeply personal and difficult to replicate. Seller may consider creative terms, lease-purchase, or transitional financing structures for qualified buyers with substantial down payment and aligned vision for the property. Properties with this combination of location, equestrian infrastructure, recreation access, and future potential rarely become available. Has great tasting well water and KRD irrigation water.
