Welcome to our home—a timeless slice of Americana where history, creativity, and cinematic charm meet. Just steps from the legendary Santa Anita Racetrack, this classic ranch-style property has been the longtime home of a former world champion in horse racing. Their legacy still lives on here—trophies line the walls inside, a reminder of victories past—while the sprawling lawns and vintage character outside invite new stories to be told through film and photography. This isn’t just another backyard rental. Almeida Ranch was built for personality. The large front lawn shaded by mature trees feels pulled from a nostalgic film set, while the expansive backyard, anchored by a sparkling pool, offers endless possibilities for staging, lounging, or creating bold, cinematic visuals. Whether you’re shooting a narrative short, a fashion editorial, or a brand campaign, the space holds both intimacy and scale—perfect for creative visions of all kinds.
