Diamond Bar-Walnut's Priciest Homes: 800 Meadow Pass Road

This week's featured property is the Brookside Equestrian Center in Walnut.

This week's featured "priciest home" is much more than a house.

The Brookside Equestrian Center, with a listing price of $9 million, is a Walnut landmark. The property once was owned by the Sentous family, one of the town's earlier settlers, according to the city's website.  The famiy owned the 2,200-acre Sentous Ranch.  The property later was used in the filming of "National Velvet" starring Elizabeth Taylor.

The center serves as training location for Lusitano dressage horses and for special events such as outdoor weddings and corporate parties, according to the center's website.

The property has been on the market for 46 days as of Monday, according to the listing.

For more information and pictures on the home, view the listing on AOL Real Estate.

If it is a landmark and a historic site new buyers cannot do anything with it. Kind of stupid for the sellers to get this designation if they want to keep its value to buyers. Seems the building must be kept and it must be kept as an equestrian center. Best sell to Knotts or Disneyland.

I would rather have it a historical landmark than to have some developer purchase the property and build a bunch of mini-mansions and therefor create more maternity hotels.

Here is the Zillow listing. Hard to say what it is worth. From prop taxes, likely bought in 1987 for about $500k. Likely worth $3-4M now, so it is extremely overpriced. It must be targeted for an Asian buyer because they do not seem to care if it is overpriced or not. Zoned for Residential so look for McMansions. I wonder if a Zen temple would go well there.

At least we should let people sleep on the weekends! I remember the last memorial weekend, whenRead More Susan Park was full of baseball banging noises starting at 6:30 am and then screaming and kicking at 7 am. Can Walnut Counsel fix that non-sense??

CP is right, the Walnut Council should be working on REAL quality of life issues, even though theyRead More aren't so glamorous. I'd like to see this issue solved/leaf blowers BANNED verses the Council putting in another red-light camera or parking meters to extort money from Mt. Sac students.

During the hotter months, the days are longer, people try to do outdoor work really early or reallyRead More late since it's cooler. What about all the barking noise created when people walk their dogs really early or really late? These people usually have their favorite spots and they just stand there forever while all the dogs in the street are going crazy. Shouldn't this be banned too?

Hello Me. Sure. I have a press release to post from the district on some Nogales Gates MillenniumRead More scholars. I just haven't had a chance to post yet. I have a little more time because Nogales hasn't had its graduation yet while DB, DR, and WHS all have had theirs. You can also use this announcement section to post stuff happening at Nogales that you want the community to know about on Patch.

Why post this book as if it is NEWS? The headline read as if it were actual news, not a bookRead More review. Shouldn't there be a separate section for books and such?

I agree but, if there is, I couldn't find it. And, actually, it isn't a book review; it's a bookRead More blurb for the first novel in my Malone mystery series.
