You’ll appreciate their eye and attention to both the details and the grand scheme of things. With two adjacent lots including woodlands, meadows, ancient orchards, gardens, and tranquil ponds, this property guarantees unparalleled privacy and enjoyment. A terraced garden with a cedar sauna sits next to a spring-fed swimming pond. Paths cut through meadows rich with vibrant wildflowers. A dock is set in a spring-fed pond dotted with lily pads. And there are many more buildings to explore (a map will be provided to visitors)! The property also has a generator that serves the entire compound, and all electrical wires are buried to preserve the uninterrupted landscape."

Thunderbird Ranch is an off-grid paradise in Burns Canyon offering complete privacy and serenity with undisturbed views of the valleys and foothills in every direction.
