John McMonigle of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties Helps Buyer with Largest Residential Property in Orange County
Originally listed at $22 million, the luxury ranch encompasses 187 acres.
Newport Beach, CA, April 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- A high-profile buyer recently chose John McMonigle of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties to assist in the purchase of El Rancho del Rio, a unique equestrian compound with a vineyard and ocean views. Prior to the live auction for the property in March, it received 42 showings.
In the end, 10 qualified bidders competed in the auction for the estate, which features a fully stocked lake, a helipad and a trove of equestrian amenities, including five paddocks, two barns and a total of 24 stalls. It is located only minutes away from Laguna Beach and Newport Beach.
“I was very excited and pleased to be a part of this auction,” stated McMonigle. “El Rancho del Rio is a prized piece of real estate—one of the last frontiers along the California Riviera.”
Surrounded by lush rolling hills, El Rancho del Rio is a secluded equestrian paradise that offers total privacy on the valley floor. A mission-style tower in the middle of the property is complemented by a guest house and three separate guest casitas. The beautiful primary hacienda features a commercial grade kitchen, an expansive entertainment wing, four bedrooms, four full baths and two half-bathrooms.
Scott MacDonald, manager of the Newport Beach office and vice president of the brokerage’s Orange County region, noted that, “When considering a purchase of this magnitude you want to have a highly skilled agent with a great deal of finesse on your team. This is especially vital in an auction, where it’s critical to think on your feet. With his complex knowledge of the luxury market and experience in real estate, John is uniquely qualified to handle this type of situation.”
