All to yourself

The L3 Ranch was founded in 1974 when my grandfather bought the property for his show cows.  In 1978, someone gave him a racehorse to pay off a debt. From then on, the property was known for its Quarter horse race horses, with some of the best in the state being born right here. In 2013 he found our he had cancer and handed the ranch down to me, Travis.  While he survived the cancer, he's happy in retirement playing cards with his buddies every week and hanging out with his dog. Now the ranch is known for its horse boarding, cattle, and goats. We even hold weddings and events at the lake sometime.  My main goal is to bring the ranch in a more in line with sustainable ranching. Its a process, but I love what I am doing, and where the ranch is going.Enjoy a private lake to yourself. We will now be keeping only one site open and it is at the lake. A BBQ, firepit, and boats await you for a nice relaxing weekend and  you will find that even on hot days there is a nice breeze that helps keep heat down. Plus your dogs (and you, too!) will enjoy taking a dip in the lake and cooling off on the grass. A friendly reminder, we are a working ranch, so during harvest (anytime from August through October)  you might hear and see equipment being used to harvest the grapes, walnuts, and almonds; there will be higher levels dust at these times.
