Today, those nearly 200 acres present something increasingly difficult to find: room to
preserve what has endured while imagining what could come next.
The approach to Smith Ranch begins along a long, tree-lined drive, where massive oaks, mature crape myrtles and pines frame the journey toward Blake Smith Lodge. Beyond the lodge grounds, open acreage stretches toward three stock tanks and land currently leased for cattle grazing. Together, the drive, mature landscape and open pasture create the sense of space and privacy that defines the property.
Remnants of the ranch’s equestrian years remain as well—an original barn and round pen recalling the days when quarter horses were raised here.
Some properties are purchased. Others are inherited from history.
