About this property

Beautiful Large Tudor Retreat Home on 40 peaceful acres

This Property is great for small church retreats, small family reunions, peaceful retreats, and quiet getaways.

Please consider purchasing travel insurance to protect you in the event you need to cancel your trip.

This property is professionally cleaned with attention to detail before each guest arrives.

**A signed rental agreement is required within 7 days of payment to confirm all reservations.

If you want to get away from the business and the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is the place for you. We have the best of both worlds because the property is rural and peaceful, and yet you can get down to the city in less than 30 minutes, where you can find most anything you’ll need.

This home is on 40 peaceful acres with three man-made ponds and hiking or mountain biking through oak groves with large granite rocks. The two smaller ponds are near the house, and the largest pond can be reached by vehicle or a moderate hike. Natural stream water from the property flows into this pond via a peaceful waterfall feature. An adobe kitchen area overlooks this large pond and features a sink, small refrigerator, canopy with firepit and a propane and wood or charcoal BBQ.

The 6,250 sf Tudor home has lots of character and charm. Stunning sunset views can be viewed from the backyard most of the year. And during the day, views of the valleys and surrounding hills go on forever. Relax in the back yard around the firepit and Bar Be Que on a propane, wood or charcoal BBQ. At dust, wait for the beautiful sunsets, then after dark, take in the majesty of the star-filled skies. There’s also nothing like an evening in a rural area when there is a full moon, as it illuminates the darkness. The sound of coyotes makes for beautiful evening music.

The main floor of the house has a large kitchen with two islands, two sinks and a double oven, and a large dinning/family room with wood-burning fireplace. One full bathroom, one powder room, and a laundry room are also on the main floor.

The second floor has a large master suite with a king size bed, a jacuzzi tub and its own balcony. Two more bedrooms occupy the second floor as well as a separate dorm room with 8 twin beds. An additional balcony is located off a common hallway for all to share.

Beneath the main floor is an 1800 sf, partially subgrade, granny suite with access from the main house and its own separate entrance. The large bedroom has a king size bed and additional beds, a living/entertainment room with a wood-burning fireplace, a small kitchen, and a full bathroom. A table can be used to hand out and talk or, flip it over and play poker and then try a game of bumper pool.

We Love This Place!
Art and Karen have the most incredible property and have extended their hospitality to our group for two years now. This place provided the much needed space for our church group to rest, fellowship, meditate, and overall have a great weekend together. We highly recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxing property for any large group!

Beautiful Property, Inside and Out
Gorgeous property and home. Well kept, clean, and comfortable. Our group of adult students were able to fit comfortably in this huge home for our retreat. Lots of lighting, space (inside and out) for us to be able to spread out and enjoy but also come together for meals and activities. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly.

Absolute perfection!
Our stay at Ricks Ranch was not only amazing but impressive! The property was immaculate and the house was just as described. We were impressed by the quality and number of beds and how well stocked the kitchen was. The yard & view were so beautiful and provided a much needed peaceful retreat. We hope to stay again for our next family reunion!

Perfect for Church Retreat
This is the third year we have used this amazing property for our church women’s retreat, and there are many reasons we keep coming back! The home is beautiful, peaceful, comfortable, and clean. The owners are very helpful and responsive. They have gone above and beyond any host I have worked with. If you are looking for a place to stay, this one can’t be beat!
