$7,680,000 Royal Oaks Ranch in Lake Hughes, California

Totaling nearly 1,100 acres of breathtaking landscapes is the perfect gentlemans ranch. It is highlighted by a Tudor-style estate home of approximately 7,000 square feet that sits atop a hill and offers commanding views that stretch as far as the wind farms of Tehachapi. A stone and wrought iron entry gate opens to a paved road that climbs to this hillside estate. A second security gate and private drive take you over koi ponds graced with bronze sculptures, past the sport court and up to the main residence. In addition to the main house, there are several other residences on the property with such names as the Doll House and the Owls Nest. Roughly 10 acres are used for producing apples (like the famed Arkansas Black) and peaches. The fruit has been sold in the past to fine markets such as Bristol Farms, Trader Joes and Gelsons. Emerald Lake is home to many local bird species (blue heron, egrets, duck, geese and coots). With its beautiful and varied landscape, the ranch has been the setting for movies and weddings, for overnight trail rides and cowboy barbeques. The possibilities are nearly endless. What an opportunity! Enjoy it now-land bank it for the future.Listing originally posted at http
