Hi,
I am an Army veteran living outside the US and I am interested in a property in the South California area, preferably a Ranch, but it must have a big enough verandah (balcony) on the top floor. Must be overlooking a city or the ocean, with a Vineyard. So do your research and keep in touch. My tel: 758-286-9411.
Sincerely,
dan
