About Exeter Horse Ranch
The home
At the heart of the property sits a warm and inviting 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence, thoughtfully designed for comfort and everyday living.
A gourmet eat-in kitchen anchors the home, featuring extensive custom cabinetry and generous space for gathering. Dual-zone climate control, a whole house fan, and a ducted evaporative cooling system ensure year-round comfort, while large windows and a spacious front deck frame the surrounding landscape—perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets.
Additional features include indoor laundry, a whole-house vacuum system, and an expansive attic storage area with convenient pull-down access.
Resort-style outdoor living
Designed to feel like a private retreat, the outdoor living space is both striking and inviting.
A large swimming pool with a dramatic boulder waterfall creates the centerpiece, flowing into a natural-style pond that blends seamlessly into the landscape. The setting feels organic and serene—more like a hidden oasis than a traditional backyard.
A standout feature is the in-pool dining area, where a built-in table allows you to sit and gather while partially submerged—perfect for entertaining on warm Central Valley evenings. Adjacent, a covered gazebo and custom built-in hot tub provide a place to relax, dine, or host guests while enjoying the water and surrounding views.
This is a space designed not just for recreation, but for experience.
