Description
The Willowbrook Riding Club, a premier equestrian facility operating for over 20 years, is a rare offering for those interested in the equestrian lifestyle and industry. With a conditional use permit (CUP) for an Equestrian Center and Tack Shop that has approximately 40 years remaining, this unique property provides the ideal environment for boarding, training, lessons, horse shows, and more. Set on a zoned W2 property with controlled development, the Willowbrook Riding Club is permitted to host up to 200 horses and offers a wealth of amenities. The facility includes five arenas, with the large, covered arena providing year-round schooling, lessons, and event opportunities. Multiple barns, ranging from box stalls to half-covered in-and-outs, as well as tack rooms, wash racks, turnout paddocks, and round pens, accommodate a variety of equestrian needs. Recent upgrades include a Mare Motel with 10 stalls, fans and clippers for grooming, 12 lockers, and visual/audio monitoring for horses. New turnout paddocks--grassy and of different sizes--further enhance the facility. The property also features a hot walker and direct access to open desert trails, providing endless opportunities for exercise and exploration. Additionally, the facility benefits from a leased solar system that keeps power costs low (approximately $390 per month) and a deep, private well for a steady and plentiful water supply. The permitted home on the property offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fireplace, and approximately 1,556 square feet of living space, with a permitted addition completed in 2002. With breathtaking views, privacy, and direct access to Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land on two sides, the Willowbrook Riding Club offers a serene and expansive environment. The property is conveniently located just 5 minutes from Desert Hot Springs, 20 minutes from Palm Springs, and 35 minutes from the HITS show grounds. An adjacent 19+ acre parcel, featuring a newly drilled 400-foot deep well, is also available for separate purchase--perfect for future development opportunities. This exceptional equestrian facility is by appointment only, with a full-time resident on-site.
