Runaway Creek Ranch

 

    This historic ranch was first established in the 1930's in the area that is known as Juniper Flats.   It  is located in the Lakeview Nuevo Mountains and sits at 2200 feet overlooking the Hemet valley, and is surrounded by the San Bernardino and San Jacinto Mountain ranges.  It is just minutes from  Murrieta, Menifee and Winchester to the south,  Hemet & San Jacinto to the East, Perris to the West and Moreno Valley & Nuevo to the North.    There is no better location to serve all Southern California communities.  It is halfway between Temecula and the Ontario International Airport at just a 30 minute drive to either, and Orange, L.A. and San Diego Counties are approx. 1 hour away.   All major freeways in Riverside county are in very close proximity. 

    Sky Mesa Estates, an established high-end Equestrian community, is located behind and to the Northwest of the ranch featuring million dollar homes.  Newly approved Juniper Highlands will feature similar type homes with an extensive public trail system and is located to the North and West of the ranch. 

    The area specific plan does not apply to this property which has both Commercial and Residential use zoning.  Presently allows over 100 horses and could be significantly increased with a special use permit.  It is subdivided into 3 legal parcels and is approximately 20 acres of usable land with over 600' of paved road frontage, private road along the East side of the ranch and multiple gated entrances.  Over 17 acres of frontage land on the West & East side of ranch are available for sale by private parties.   This ranch is strategically positioned to become the largest Equestrian Facility for the area and has been built to accommodate that growth.  

    We have unlimited Water!  Extremely low city water rates, a plentiful supply of crystal clear drinkable water provided by multiple natural springs on the property, commercial electrical services with 220V and superior construction materials used through-out the ranch,  makes this a very economical facility to maintain.  Top of the line horse facilities were newly built in the past 3 years.  Although presently operated as a private breeding and training operation, the arena facilities have already been used to host area events.
