With great historical significance, this acreage was once part of the famous Davis Ranch. The Davis Family was one of the founding pioneer families on Mesa Grande with descendants still residing on the original homestead. Mesa Grande is known for rare Engelmann oaks, fields of white sage and wide-open ranchland – a landscape which remains relatively unchanged from when the first European settlers arrived in the area in the 18th century. Over the last decade this coveted backcountry neighborhood has become a favorite retreat for Southern California’s emerging affluent class.
