Not Horsing Around

Blenheim Farms, a famous equestrian estate in San
Juan Capistrano, Calif., is not your ordinary horse farm.

“What becomes abundantly clear when you move through Blenheim Farms is that this is more than just a facility-it is an experience,” says John McMonigle of the McMonigle Group with Coldwell Banker. The $40 million listing is 17 acres flat. “Every inch of the

17 acres is usable,” McMonigle says. The very accessi-
ble farm has hosted Olympic trials, is pristinely main-
tained and emphasizes safety.
“My favorite thing is on the threshold of the
front door, carved in white marble, are the words ‘Arden
Cottage,’” McMonigle says of the ranch’s main house.
“There’s a personality—that’s what is special about it.”
