A romantic evening on a Full Moon Trail Ride in Morongo Valley
Equestrian activities in the Palm Springs Valley are plentiful, so if you happen to be a horse person, rest assured there is no lack of exciting things to experience here in the desert. Whether it’s watching world class horse events held in the east valley – Indio, Coachella, Thermal area… or trail riding in the Palm Springs, High Desert area, your options are many.
SADDLE UP FOR A TRAIL RIDE
Trail riding is such a wonderful way to get intimate with the desert landscape. It’s meditative. You’re surrounded by nature as you wind your way on horseback through the ruggedly beautiful canyons of the local mountains with the sun on your back. Palm Springs is fortunate to be home to historic Smoke Tree Stables, tucked away off of the busy thoroughfare of Highway 111. There you will find group packages available for trail riding adventures into nearby Indian Canyons, where the Cahuilla Indians used to roam and native palm oases and streams grace the landscape. Picnic lunches or western cookouts can be included, whatever your fancy.
You can also hightail it up to the High Desert area of Morongo Valley for trail riding… it’s just a short 20 minute drive up Hwy. 62 from Palm Springs. The High Desert offers it’s own brand of magic, as it’s typically at least 10 degrees cooler up there (which is nice in the summer) and the scenic views of snow-capped Mount San Jacinto and Mount San Gorgonio absolutely take your breath away. You’ll think you’re in the Swiss Alps.
Here in the Palm Springs Valley, equestrian properties are really starting to move. That’s good news for my Land and Equestrian Property Listings, but can a potential buyer obtain a Loan? Realtors that deal in Land, and Equestrian Properties, know that obtaining loans for vacant Land is pretty close to impossible. Why would a lender lend money on something that is difficult to appraise, and doesn’t have anything of tangible value on it?
Equestrian Properties, however, often have homes, barns, and a variety of other amenities. Loans ARE available here in the Local area. I just closed on a 5 acre equestrian property and the new Buyers obtained a Conventional Loan. They did, however, take my advice and got their loan with a LOCAL Lender! Listen to the video here, to get some ideas about “choosing Lenders.”
Though Loans are available, the Lenders will be sticky about the appraisal, and must understand area values. If you don’t go with a Local Lender, it may be much more difficult to get financing on your Equestrian property.
I had the privilege of representing BOTH the Seller on this tranquil Equestrian Estate in Vista Santa Rosa, California, and also the Buyers. Located right by the border of La Quinta, this particular area is fast becoming known as “The Rodeo Drive of Horse Property!” 82480 Avenue 54 is fondly known as THE MANSION ON 54TH. Originally designed and built by Tennis Legend, Vic Braden, this 5 acre Estate rests behind entry gates, that open to a private road. The road circles by the Pond in the front of the main house, which is where the Canal water is held before it’s used for irrigation.
The estate is zoned for horses, but Mr. Braden chose to use it as his desert Tennis Retreat. The Tennis court has since been covered up as the current owner has chosen to surround the elevated home site with lush grass, citrus trees, and desert flora. The property is completely fenced, and has a back up source of water in it’s private well.
