Hacienda La Verbena. Not Just a Home, an Estate.
Do you need a 3 bedroom/3 bath home for your vacation? Then consider reserving the main residence of this newly remodeled estate, for the low cost of an ordinary-sized property! This grand home on 3+ acres can sleep up to 6 people, with plenty of room for everyone to stretch out. No other Borrego property can compare with the spacious feel of this resort-like hacienda. (For larger groups with up to 4 additional persons, one or both bedrooms of the separate 2 bedroom/2 bath casita may be reserved as needed.)
The residence has extensive vaulted ceilings, king-sized beds, a fully equipped kitchen with center island, adjoining den with an audio/video entertainment area, a formal dining room that seats 12, a vast living room with an audio/video entertainment area and billiard table area, a dedicated quiet study, and a large laundry room. The vast garage accommodates 4 vehicles!
You enter through an ageless, heavy wooden gate to begin your dream vacation. Situated on acres of native Sonoran desert landscape, this is a grand hacienda of estate proportions, with peach stucco walls, a clay tile roof, wrought iron sconces, soaring ceilings and an enormous fireplace in the great room. This home offers modern and luxurious amenities and many opportunities for a relaxed vacation or a working vacation, including broadband Wi-Fi internet, big screen TV's, Blu-Ray DVD players, desert movie DVD library, surround sound systems with iPod docking, music CD selections, wine captain, 8-foot billiard table, board games and books.
Step outside to the 12 foot deep shaded veranda running the length of the hacienda. Look out to a sun washed, walled courtyard bordered by citrus trees, palm trees and colorful desert plants. The centerpiece of this courtyard is the heated spa and sparkling pool (heating optional). You’ll take in amazing 360 degree views of the San Ysidro and Santa Rosa Mountain ranges that frame the Borrego Valley. You can toast skewered marshmellows over mesquite coals in the large fire pit. And you can enjoy sunrises over Fonts Point and sunsets over Indian Head Mountain.
Think reunions, think lots of friends, think of a grand vacation. Here, there are no limits. Close your eyes, dream of your perfect desert vacation. No limits, total indulgence; just laughing, swimming, or walking in a field of desert wildflowers; talking, really talking with family and friends; and going to sleep listening to the muffled hooting of an owl and communal cries of coyotes.
Dream on. Dream of floating in your grand pool on brilliant starry nights (bring your binoculars or spotting scope). Dream of hiking to a nearby desert oasis with a native palm grove and waterfall. Dream of actually seeing Big Horn Sheep along the way!
You see, there are no limits to your dream when you stay at Hacienda La Verbena. This main residence of the grandest of the Borrego haciendas is available for about the price of an ordinary 3 bedroom / 3 bath home. There is nothing else comparable in all of Borrego. Here, there are no limits to your vacation!
