Do You Love Farm Life in Sacramento County?

farm life sacramento county

Do you love farm life in Sacramento County? This time of year the fields remind this Sacramento Realtor of the green hills of Wales. I remember the sheep on the hillsides from a vacation there and the color of green was almost fluorescent.

Some people don’t know this about me, but I live in the rural south county area of Sacramento. The land and the trees here are so beautiful. There is nothing as pretty as the fruitless cherry trees in full pink blossom, all the way down my long driveway. There is a gorgeous canopy of large oak trees on the other side of the driveway, by the flowing creek. The brown fence blends into the landscape and feels so natural. Plus, my long driveway offers so much privacy.

The grass is so very rich in proteins that my mini horses have to be limited on how much they eat. They are rather large eaters and overeating can cause serious health issues. I put my two black and white pinto girls in a stall for some time during each day or they would eat themselves sick. These mini horses can eat themselves into a very serious illness. My horses are only 30 inches tall, called mini horses. They are always running and playing in the fields, I think they do love farm life in Sacramento County.

My filly, the 3-year-old black and white was born here on my land. She was so tall and her mother had to have my help with the delivery. With every contraction, I pulled on the two exposed front hooves and finally she entered this world. My own mother was there for delivery and we dried her with towels. I got the mare some hay as she was hungry and tired at 3 am on a spring early morning. Checked the placenta to make sure it was not torn. If the placenta was damaged, my mare could get very sick; it was perfect, fully delivered. All looked good.

The filly stood up and nursed like a pro. It was time to walk them into the stall. We had bedded it down with soft shavings about a foot deep. It felt like a goose down comforter and the baby horse — called a foal — loved it. She was here at last. So now that you have seen my green pastures and heard about my black-and-white beauties, do you love farm life in Sacramento County? If so call Weintraub & Wallace Realtors we will find you green acres of your own, in the gorgeous rural area of Sacramento real estate.

Improved Price for Woodsy Fair Oaks Pool Home on Acreage

woodsy Fair oaks pool home on acreage

As you turn onto Hillcrest heading to this woodsy Fair Oaks pool home on acreage, you will notice a stable for boarding horses. Many homes in Fair Oaks have horses; according to code one needs a minimum of 22,000 square feet for a horse. This particular home is situated on more than an acre at 1.37 acres, which is the equivalent of 59,677 square feet. Although some of the land is sloped. And let’s not forget there is a pool. Do horses swim? What would you do if a horse got into the pool? See, I do not know. Does Bojack Horseman know things? Ha. Besides, chlorine is probably not good for a horse’s coat, but having limited interaction with horses, I am not a person to ask about equine species.

However, if you want to know about buying a woodsy Fair Oaks pool home on acreage, I most certainly am the person to ask. As a Realtor who has lived through more than four decades of real estate, I am perhaps uniquely qualified. In fact, I was over at Mueller Animal Hospital on Saturday with Jackson our ragdoll. The doctor looked at the carrier with my business card taped to it, and said, “Oh, I have seen your signs around town.” Mentioning she knew that name from somewhere. Jackson has experienced a bit of distress that has been really persistent; nothing that $250 and medication can’t remedy.

One of the most unique features of this woodsy Fair Oaks pool home acreage is its location. Situated at the end of a country cul-de-sac. Very quiet. From Fair Oaks Blvd, you pass by mansions driving down Hillcrest until you come to rest at the top of the driveway. What you immediately spot is an authentic mid-century home, featuring walls of glass, nestled in a forest. There are 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, and dual master suites of similar sizes at opposite ends of the house. Making it a perfect multi-generational set up.

The sellers hauled in yards of soil to prepare the land for the pool, which is visible from many rooms. Sometimes baby Western Screech owls live nearby, and deer wander into the yard to rest in a sunny spot. If you want your home surrounded by nature, trees and wildlife, this is the home for you! Just listen to the wind whistle through the treetops and you hear nothing else except an occasional hoo-hoo, hoo-hoo. Those baby owls are just too cute.
