Perched amid the Malibu hillsides, the sprawling Aspen Hope Ranch is on the market for $20 million.
Listed by Elizabeth Donovan Realty, this equestrian’s dream sits on a 2.55-acre lot with 7,250 square feet of living space, as well as a 2,200-square-foot guest house.
The neutral-toned and light-flooded main residence features five bedrooms and six bathrooms., It comes equipped with blonde wood built-ins and sophisticatedly rugged brass fixtures.
Furthermore, the estate is provisioned with rancher’s delights, such as finished wooden stables, a walled riding arena and a modern rustic tack room. Darker wood interiors contrast with the residence’s lighter-toned scheme, evoking the sense of an old Spanish ranch. The quasi-historical stables are tied together by a wrought iron chandelier with candle-like lights.
Aspen Hope Ranch has previously offered private tours and events, emphasizing family-friendly interactions with cows, horses, sheep, and other animals on site. With such space, there is ample opportunity for hosting. The location also includes parking for events, covered by a welcoming pergola frame interwoven with lush vines.
