OUTDOOR FARM SPACES & EXPERIENCES
Perched on a hilltop in the Santa Rosa Plateau foothills beside Bear Creek Golf Course and La Cresta, Howe Ranch combines panoramic city and mountain views with Old World-inspired landscapes for a serene escape. Since 2021, this unique space has welcomed celebrities and community members alike. Guests can unplug and reconnect in tranquil settings—from the pool oasis to scenic gathering areas—while enjoying our beloved mini Highland cows and trained farm animals. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience for unforgettable moments on a working farm.
