EQUESTRIAN ESTATE
This remarkable estate property at 484 Mockingbird Ridge is located right at the heart of the geographical confluence between the Aptos Hills and Larkin Valley – long known by locals and horse-aficionados across the State as the premier equestrian region in a County that offers some of the finest equine amenities and breadth, scope, beauty and diversity of riding trails anywhere on the West Coast.

Direct access to a vast network and miles and miles of private horse trails and deeded easements are immediately available starting with a meadow spur that winds through your own rolling fifteen acre parcel. The sparkling sunny weather and temperate year-round climate and sea-breezes that waft through the Aptos Hills and Larkin Valley are perfect for a wealth of horse-related pursuits.

Here, just a few miles in every direction, you are surrounded by a community of like-minded fellow horse-devotees that maintain a vast array of riding spots and steward neighboring ranches that provide training, boarding, breeding, lessons and facilities designed for all styles of riding and breeds of horses.

Here is a short list of nearby equestrian centers, ranches and boarding facilities just a short ride from your own property.  Pay particular attention to Moon Valley Ranch - your immediate neighbor that occupies a good portion of the acreage below your knoll top. Its bucolic pond and natural pastoral beauty create a picturesque foreground to delightfully augment the larger views of the Bay that loom large on the horizon to the South.
