Can’t decide between a Tuscan-style villa with eye-catching front doors sourced from the Hearst Castle or an exotic wildlife sanctuary sporting zebras and African antelopes? You don’t have to! This rambling 1,200-acre Southern California ranch has both and much more, plus a supremely private and scenic locale on the outskirts of the historic community of San Juan Capistrano.

Resting between Los Angeles and San Diego, at the intersections of Orange, San Diego and Riverside counties, the property was originally built in the 1970s for documentary filmmaker Bruce Brown, who directed the Oscar-nominated On Any Sunday and surf classic The Endless Summer. The late Herbalife cofounder and automotive enthusiast Richard “Dick” Marconi acquired the place in the early 1990s and spent the next three decades transforming it into a Tuscan-inspired village he dubbed the Marconi Ranch. Now it’s on the market for $25 million, with the listing held by Lance Doré and Francine Howard of California Outdoor Properties.
