Continuing the theme of ranch history, here's another one for you from Temecula Wine Country's Valle de los Caballos that I did. This one brings Lucy and Ricky into the mix as it was once owned by the same family that bought their Desilu Studios renaming it to Ren-Mar Studios. I believe that production facility is currently operating as Red Studios Hollywood.
Nevertheless, this great property recently sold again and is now owned by another party. As always, as properties like this change hands, it is our hope that the reins are handed over to those that will be good stewards of the property and are hopefully vested in the community in some way.
This video was done in 2019 when I had the listing for Ren-Mar Farms and the only thing I wish I had on this was Bill's great voice! He wasn't available to go to the studio for this one but I reckon the video still tells the story through the script. I hope you enjoy!

“Ranches. We love ‘em! They all have a story.
This story begins in Hollywood at the old Desi-Lu Studios that a family purchased and renamed, Ren-Mar Studios. Like many in Hollywood, this family had a love for horse racing and so they came to Temecula where they purchased a prime piece of horse property.
Situated in Temecula’s Valle de los Caballos, Ren-Mar Thoroughbred Farms is a sprawling 43.25-acre property along the De Portola Wine Trail. In these fields once stood Sky Jack, a 1996 grey gelding, winner of the 2002 Hollywood Gold Cup. For many years, Ren-Mar enjoyed great success from their Temecula farm.
As you walk the property, it’s evident that the spirit of horse racing runs deep through the veins of Ren-Mar. Enjoy tree lined drives and lush pastures where horses graze with a beautiful mountainous back-drop. The 10-stall barn is complemented by shedrow barns with large stalls and grass pastures. Also on the property is a ranch manager’s home.
Conveniently located for access to Southern California tracks and horse show grounds such as LA, Del Mar and Indio. This facility is well laid out and includes two APN’s. Now it’s your turn to build your family’s legacy at 35675 De Portola Road.”
