About the Space
50 acres, 2 very private homes. Views, Horses, barns, huge riding arena, plenty of open space and rugged back-country terrain. You can do a lot with 50 acres in SoCal. Do you need.... A contemporary ranch setting? An an upscale English riding setting? A back country middle-of-nowhere setting? A private vacant house to dress however as you wish? .....That is all here and much more. IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION: The base pricing is for EXTERIORS anywhere throughout the entire property. **Fees for interior use are reasonable and competitive - and flexible because we don't know what you need before you scout. You may need a house and only a house, or the entire run of the property inside and out. The Point: There is no need to pay for something you don't need. If you like what you see in the photos, reach out and let's discuss your production. We will do everything in our power to make this a cost effective and positive shooting experience. Helpful Note: Most productions want the use of the exteriors, views, hills, etc. However they find great convenience in also renting the vacant house for base-camp, hair and makeup, catering spot, green rooms, production office, full kitchen, etc. This avoids the headaches and expense of a MOHO, tents, and all an ancillary equipment needed to run a production. ALSO NOTE. A site manager is required due to the size of the property. You will have someone who knows the hidden treasures of the property. This will also provide 4x4 transport into the hills. Rep fee is negotiable. So here we go....

Wonderful experience shooting here! Heath was the nicest, most helpful host and made shooting here very easy. There is A LOT of land to shoot. I loved that the horses were near and nice and if you wanted them in the shot, it was ok. Highly recommend, the shoot came out perfect :)

Great experience, very accommodating and lovely host. I recommend adding on the small house as base camp. It was a life-saver.

Heath is very nice and helpful, I highly recommend this amazing location to other filmmakers! Our crews and casts had a great time during this four-days filming, I feel grateful for everything!

Heath and Kathleen could not have been more accommodating. This is truly one of the best locations I have ever shot and, and the hospitality from the two owners was incredible. There are so many looks at this property and the views are amazing. Will be my new go to Ranch location.
