Take a look at the Q1 transactions that have set the tone for 2026.

California

A storied equestrian sanctuary set on 309 acres, this dedicated preserve houses nearly 400 wild horses, all cared for by Return to Freedom, the nonprofit wild horse conservation organization whose board once counted Robert Redford among its members. Previously owned by the organization’s president, agent Serena Viharo helped facilitate the sale of the property to the Return to Freedom 501(c)3 itself. The organization manages the sprawling land, which served as inspiration for the movies The Mustangs: America’s Wild Horses and Disney’s Spirit, with the mission to preserve the freedom and habitat of America’s wild horses and their natural herd instincts.
