This is not your average Shadow Run home. Perched at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with commanding curb appeal and elevated frontage, 968 Saddlehorn is arguably the finest property in the tract—where homes rarely turn over, and none come to market quite like this.

Set in one of Ventura County’s fastest-growing neighborhoods, this beautifully updated residence is walking distance to Banyan Elementary (9/10), Banyan Park, and the Rancho Sierra Vista/Satwiwa trail system with direct access to Mount Boney and the Pacific. Plus, it’s just 15 minutes to the beach—offering a rare blend of top-tier schools, trail access, and indoor-outdoor living with no HOA.

Inside, you'll find a wide-open floorplan with great flow and thoughtful separation between living zones. Custom woodwork is featured throughout, including wainscoting, crown molding, built-ins, reading nooks, and custom fireplace trim—all crafted by a Malibu woodworker. The kitchen has been updated with new GE Profile appliances, a Jenn-Air double oven, stone countertops, and a cozy built-in breakfast nook with storage. The bathrooms have been fully remodeled with marble vanities, designer finishes, and custom tile and stone work. Upstairs, the 510 SF primary suite includes a sitting area perfect for an office or gym, a large walk-in closet with built-ins, and a spa-style bath with soaking tub. The oversized three-car garage offers natural light and plenty of storage. Major system updates include Andersen dual-pane windows, a 60-year concrete tile roof, upgraded HVAC and ducting, and a newer water heater. The front and back yards have been professionally landscaped with mature trees, privacy fencing, low-drip irrigation, extensive lighting, and a custom wood entry gate.

Step through the French sliders into a backyard built for entertaining—complete with a sparkling pool and spa, fire pit, fruit trees, and BBQ area with Dutch door access. A peaceful sitting swing in the front yard offers dramatic views of Boney Mountain, and a side patio off the kitchen (rare for this model) creates a true second outdoor living room.

Shadow Run is one of Newbury Park’s most desirable pockets, known for its larger lots, close-knit feel, and unbeatable access to schools, trails, shopping, and the 101. Homes like this don’t come around often—and this one checks every box.
