Hope Ranch

As you pass through the gate and under the handsome, filigreed sign suspended across Las Palmas Drive, you enter another world: Hope Ranch Park. Wearing jodhpurs and shiny black boots, young girls on horseback gallop along a tree-lined trail. An early morning jogger circles serene Laguna Blanca Lake. A golfing foursome takes turns putting on a manicured green at the La Cumbre Country club.

Incorporated in 1924, the Hope Ranch Park Homes Association watches over this elite residential area. Membership in the association is automatic upon purchasing a home and brings many privileges: a private beach, a horse show ring, bridle paths, tennis courts, and the advantages of the Hope Ranch Riding Trails Association.

Newcomers can have their choice of homes overlooking the golf course, mountain views or ocean vistas. There are a myriad of architectural pleasures for the discriminating buyer.
