Why the Owner Chose Borrego Springs
I have been in the real estate and building business for over 30 years. Stay here and you will be staying in one of my designs, "Rancho Borrego" and "WindGodBird" vacation rentals.
The Unique Benefits of this Ranch House
Bring your horse and ride from the ranch. Off road and explore. Walk and enjoy the prehistoric sculptures, golf in the winter when it's 75 degrees here and snowing somewhere else! What more can I say! Come and enjoy and stay awhile.

Just wanted to thank all of you who have stayed here and those of you who have left your comments. I built this house in 2003/4. My wife and I always enjoy spending a few days here when we both have the time. We have no plans to sell this home, so it should be available for many more years as a great getaway place. Hope you enjoy it as much as we have had and come back soon. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are special times out here. Don't for the wildflower season!
