Southwestern-inspired mansion for sale is rarity in California. Video shows why

A stunningly original home right outside Fresno, California, has landed on the real estate market for $6 million.

Surrounded by the rolling hills of Friant, this Santa Fe-style home was the brainchild of a Fresno couple who often traveled around.

“When a Fresno couple saw a For Sale sign while road-tripping near Lake Millerton in the early ’90s, they didn’t just see a stunning ridgeline property—they saw potential,” a news release regarding the six-bedroom, six-bathroom house that now sits on the land said.

“They traded their first home plus $100K to seal the deal. What followed was a labor of love to design and build a private architectural compound from the ground up.”

What’s even cooler is that the original home was donated to SWAT and fire departments for training exercises.

Now, the Southwestern-inspired residence is ready to start a new chapter.

This extraordinary estate near Fresno, listed at $6 million, offers 360-degree views of Table Mountain, Sierra foothills, Friant Dam and the San Joaquin Valley.
