About This Home

1343 Ranchero Drive

Welcome to the exclusive community of Pine Valley Ranches, where privacy and natural beauty converge on this stunning 5.5-acre estate. Tucked away among over 1000 exotic trees, foliage and lush landscaping, the property radiates the tranquility and botanical charm of a mini Selby Gardens. A double-gated entrance and winding paver driveway leads you through dappled sunlight beneath a majestic tree canopy, setting the tone for the serene lifestyle that awaits. With no neighbors in sight, privacy is absolute. (one can feel secure on this property) This custom-built Arthur Rutenberg residence spans approximately 7,000 total square feet with brand new roof and features 4 bedrooms, plus a den/office, and a remarkable three-story, Class 5 hurricane-rated safe structure—complete with a rooftop deck overlooking the verdant surroundings. Step inside through grand double doors into a spacious foyer that opens to a formal living area filled with natural light, 12-foot ceilings, and a skylight. A custom wet bar with a green onyx countertop and copper sink adds a touch of sophistication. Expansive double sliders open to a screened outdoor living area with a pool, area for grilling and oversized patio—ideal for entertaining. The triple-split floor plan offers privacy and functionality, enhanced by aquarium-style transom windows and octagon architectural accents. The expansive primary suite boasts two double sliders with direct access to the pool and outdoor lounge area. At the heart of the home, the recently renovated kitchen offers style and substance with custom wood ceiling insets, Samsung appliances, custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, an extra-large pantry, and a large center island with comfortable seating for four. It flows seamlessly into a cozy family room with built-in shelving, an oversized marble fireplace, and a handcrafted wood mantle. The crown jewel of the property is the impressive three-story, Class 5 hurricane-rated addition. Designed with versatility in mind, it serves beautifully as a guest suite, art studio, man cave, or entertainment space. Constructed with double steel-reinforced concrete, fireproof and hurricane-rated windows, handcrafted walnut doors, this structure features floating maple floors, skip-trowel plaster walls and ceiling, custom lighting, and hand-painted cedar crown molding. A spiral staircase connects to a second-floor studio or workshop, while the third level offers a rooftop deck with artificial turf—perfect for sunbathing, sunset watching, or a roof top bar escape. Outdoors, immerse yourself in the peaceful surroundings. Meandering trails invite you through your private woods to explore the natural beauty of the property, which also features a koi pond and a detached concrete 400 sq ft garage—ideal for housing custom cars, tracker, golf carts, kayaks, paddleboards, and more. This unique estate is a nature lover’s dream, blending luxury living with the peace and serenity of a private botanical paradise. With its exceptional privacy and ample acreage, the property offers the opportunity to add a second residence. The opportunity to make this home your own with its unique character and great bones is waiting for your personal touch.
