There is also a round pen at the arena and another in the rear paddock, along with a private trot trail. A custom four-stall barn and tack room adds functionality, with a concrete cross aisle, ceiling fans, no open rafters in the ceiling, new electrical, heated waterers in each stall, Noble feeders, dusk-to-dawn exterior lighting, and a tack room with heat, air conditioning, and a ceiling fan.

The ranch is also supported by three septic systems, serving the main house, the cabin, and the RV dump at the equipment shed. The work done here is not cosmetic. More than 60 dump truck loads of fill were brought in, along with a road cut connecting the two driveways from the main house and the cabin for easier access to the arena and the rest of the property. There is also an obstacle course and trail through the junipers that can be used for horses, dirt bikes, or ATVs, adding another layer of recreation beyond the ranch’s core function. Elk Crest Ranch is a property where the major pieces are already in place. The home, equestrian facilities, water systems, and supporting infrastructure all work together to create a ranch that is comfortable to live on, capable of supporting serious horse use, and positioned for long-term enjoyment.
