A two-minute video set to dramatic music shows imagery of the ranch, including the primary glass and concrete house and an equestrian facility designed by Ando – the 1995 Pritzker Prize laureate.
The low-slung structures encircle a reflecting pond and blend with the desert landscape.

"The stunning main residence floats on a reflecting pool and is adjoined by a state-of-the-art horse barn with eight stalls," according to the realtor's website about the property.
