About this property
Experience the space, privacy, and freedom of country living without giving up convenient access to the city. Tucked into the sought-after Lake Mathews foothills, this distinctive equestrian property offers an exceptional combination of panoramic views, thoughtfully designed horse amenities, and a custom home surrounded by usable land. Positioned on a spacious corner lot, the residence sits above the surrounding landscape, creating a private setting with sweeping vistas of the mountains, lake, hills, and distant city lights. Multiple outdoor areas allow you to take in the scenery throughout the day, from peaceful mornings to spectacular evening sunsets. For the equestrian enthusiast, the property is equipped to accommodate both horses and hobbies. The horse facilities are thoughtfully separated from the main residence and include stalls, a tack room, a dedicated second garage, a separate corral, and an expansive lighted arena designed with barrel racing in mind. The home itself offers an inviting blend of comfort and character. Vaulted ceilings, hardwood and ceramic tile flooring, French doors, and custom wrought-iron details create an open yet distinctive interior. Two wood-burning fireplaces—including one in the primary suite—add warmth and ambiance. The spacious primary bedroom takes full advantage of the setting with beautiful views, a large walk-in closet, and a private balcony where the city lights become part of the evening backdrop. A lower-level bedroom and full bathroom provide flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a private office space. Step outside and discover even more opportunities to enjoy the property. Front and rear balconies provide multiple vantage points for taking in the surrounding scenery, while a welcoming patio with a fountain creates a charming outdoor gathering space. Raised garden beds offer the opportunity to grow fresh herbs, vegetables, and flowers, while a dedicated chicken coop adds to the property's country-living appeal. Extensive fenced grounds and a detached storage shed provide additional space for animals, equipment, hobbies, and outdoor projects. All of this is set in a peaceful foothill environment that feels wonderfully removed from the hustle and bustle, while remaining conveniently close to Riverside and Corona. This is a property where the possibilities are as expansive as the views.
