Map & Owner's Profile
Greensboro Ranch a Gold Country Equestrian Estate
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Placerville
We choose this home because the property sits on six acres on the top of a knoll overlooking a private lake within this beautiful equestrian community. The moment we came through the gates of this community we felt like we were in Kentucky as just about every home has three rail fencing with horses in pastures. We felt the equestrican community was totally unique and the area had so many activites that it would make the perfect vacation rental home.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Greensboro Ranch is such a unique property because of the equestrian ranchette setting. The large gazebo with private swimming pool is perfect for summer weather as Placerville has really lovely weather in the summer months as it is warm yet dry. The master bedroom is beautiful appointed with a private retreat area with fireplace and TV. The master bathroom has the best views in the house. The community has miles and miles of walking trails for taking hikes, and lighted tennis courts. Best yet we are only minutes from horseback riding, the new Red Hawk Casino, wineries and river rafting. Then when you top it off with being 5 minutes from where Gold was Discovered...we really have it all!
Owner's Map of Placerville
After spending 25 years in high tech procurement as a start-up company expert and entrepreneur I left that part of my life behind to become the Vacation Lady. In the early 1980’s I was having to make frequent trips to the Far East and experienced High tea at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore. It was during this trip that the inspiration and entrepreneurial vision came to open Tea Salons in the US. In 1988, I founded a new specialty retail tea business. Created the concept, interior design elements and business plan model from a one-store operation to over 16 US franchised operations and two International locations in less than four years which placed us number 35 of the 100 fastest growing privately held companies in Silicon Valley in 1995. After 10 years in the tea business and spending stints in high tech start-ups I was ready for a new challenge. Since my husband and I enjoyed traveling and dabbling in real estate and nearing retirement age it seemed like the perfect fit. In 1996 we founded Vacation Holdings, purchased our first vacation home and set off to build a luxury vacation rental business using our properties as vacation rentals. It was such a natural progression as I could use my skills in purchasing, interior design and use the same disciplines required in franchising such as scheduling, creating instruction manuals for guests and tracking linen, towels and kitchen inventory. Basically, I was back in the Franchise business only this time we were creating turnkey vacation rentals instead of retail store fronts. My lessons learned from the service industry are applied every day in customer service and satisfaction. We are now up to 9 properties in various areas of the US and Virgin Island and I can say that this is the best time of my life as there is nothing more satisfying than helping to make a Dream Vacation come true.
