Robert Taylor Ranch!
Robert Taylor Ranch!
A classic, well-bred ranch and tasteful in its simplicity, it could easily be at home in Tennessee, Virginia or Kentucky. But instead, all 112 acres are just a short hop to LA's best restaurants and shopping! This is the answer to those who need to live in both worlds. You demand a high spirited environment where you exercise all that mental and creative energy, but at the end of the day when you're drained from the intensity, this is where you want to come to recharge. It's where you want to trod through a little mud, not be bothered by getting hit with a little horse saliva when Flicka shakes his head and where you can deeply breathe in the fresh air and space around you on your late evening ride. Recharge! This is the place for the man or woman of all seasons. . . and all interests.
Deceptive in size on approach, this timeless ranch was built in 1956 for Waite Phillips (Phillips Petroleum) and saw other owners over the years. Actor Robert Taylor, Barbara Stanwyck's spouse and star of Quo Vadis, Billy the Kid & The Detectives, once owned the property and his name has stayed with it over the years. At 11,700sf of living space, there is plenty of room for entertaining lots of family,friends and business associates. There are 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a large recreational-office complex, a 3,100sf guest studio, and a 10-car garage. Horse lovers will be thrilled with the stables, riding arena and private trails that expand into the Will Rogers State Park. Those not interested in spending time in the saddle will be equally pleased spending a day poolside, working out at the gym or playing a rousing game of tennis. In this compound of 70 rooms, it's unlikely that anyone will intrude in your personal space unless invited.
Laid back, historical and teeming in rustic luxury, the Ranch was previously listed at $65m, now reduced to $28m.
