Meadow Oaks

The above picture is not Meadow Oaks, but the Santa Rosa Plateau just outside of Meadow Oaks. Isn't it beautiful?  You would see this lovely view in the Spring time on your way home to Meadow Oaks!

Meadow Oaks is a lovely equestrian gated community just outside of LaCresta. Meadow Oaks is in the Tenaja area of the unincorporated area of Murrieta.  In Meadow Oaks, you can find minimum 5 acre parcels of land.  Meadow Oaks is an equestrian friendly gated area.  There are only 49 homes currently with 3-4 undeveloped lots.  The home owners association covers the gate, and Gary who takes care of the guard shack and all the comings and goings of people coming into Meadow Oaks.  He also  maintains the front area by the gate.  The HOA also takes care of the streets inside of Meadow Oaks. The HOA is managed currently by Ralston Management.

Ronald Reagan owned 750 acres of land in Tenaja.  He bought the land in the 1960's and he sold it more than a decade later.  He only came down to the Tenaja area a few times as back then he felt it was too far out and would take too long for modern conveniences to get out here.  That was when he sold and moved to Santa Barbara.  Dan Stephenson bought 5000 acres out in Tenaja.  He started Rancon Real Estate as well.  He obtained investors and started buying land everywhere.  He was the one to start LaCresta, which was 10,000 acres and he linked riding trails together.  He then started LaCresta Highlands which was 1,500 acre estates, Santa Rosa West was 700 acres. Meadow Oaks is just out side of Santa Rosa West.  Pretty interesting that Ronald Reagan owned Meadow Oaks.

There is a ranch right out side of Meadow Oaks that is named Reagan Ranch that is up for sale currently.

Joan, what a rich history Meadow Oaks has, and I did not know that President Reagan owned such vast holdings outside of Santa Barbara!  As a former US History teacher I just love learning new things about different parts of the nation.  Hopefully your drought conditions are now ended and yes, what a beautiful area between Orange County and San Diego!
