About This Property

Welcome to Rancho Del Ladrido, a truly one-of-a-kind 40 acre ranch offering unmatched privacy, breathtaking panoramic valley and hillside view, and off grid option via solar, generator, and well, a perfect blend of Western charm and modern self-sufficiency. Adjacent to a nature preserve to the east and nestled behind a private gate in the scenic backcountry of Ramona and zoned A72 Agricultural, this extraordinary property presents endless possibilities for ranching, equestrian pursuits, farming, or simply enjoying a peaceful rural lifestyle. The custom ranch-style residence was thoughtfully designed for both comfortable living and unforgettable entertaining. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a spectacular vintage-inspired saloon featuring a massive handcrafted wooden bar, antique cash register, and authentic wood-burning stove, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere rich with character. Beyond the saloon, the home opens to a spacious dining area and bright family room anchored by an impressive stone fireplace. The gourmet kitchen showcases custom wood cabinetry, black appliances, and a center island topped with natural stone, offering both functionality and rustic elegance. The expansive primary suite serves as a private retreat with vaulted ceilings, a large walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed en-suite bath complete with a classic clawfoot soaking tub and separate tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms and a full guest bathroom provide ample space for family and visitors. Designed for the option of off-grid living without sacrificing modern conveniences, the property is powered by a robust solar system with Tesla backup batteries, supported by a Generac backup generator and dual central air conditioning units. Water is supplied by a private well with a high-capacity pump system, oversized water storage tank, filtration system, water softener, tankless water heater, and fire hydrant. Outside, large covered concrete patios span both the front and rear of the home, offering ideal spaces to relax, entertain, and take in the spectacular Ramona sunsets. A massive detached workshop with half-bath, and multi-car garage provide abundant room for vehicles, equipment, recreational toys, or a home-based business. The rolling 40-acre landscape includes areas historically used for cattle, a former orchard site, vintage farm equipment accents, and expansive open space ready for agricultural, equestrian, or recreational use. Whether you're seeking a working ranch, private family compound, weekend retreat, or self-sustaining homestead, Rancho Del Ladrido offers a rare opportunity to own a truly remarkable piece of Southern California countryside.
