Rancho Guajome Adobe, a 64-hectare historic adobe hacienda in Vista, was built in 1850 in Spanish Colonial architecture and today is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The 22-room hacienda was the headquarters of a Mexican land grant of Rancho Guajome. The large rambling edifice has two typical tiled courtyards, a veranda, and a chapel. The hacienda is surrounded by an open area of wetlands that are a home to rich wildlife such as ring-necked pheasants, least Bell's vireo, raccoons, white-tailed kites, and the great horned owl. The 112-acre park that surrounds the hacienda is great spot for picnicking, camping, fishing, hiking, and horseback riding. The romantic surroundings are a popular venue for weddings and other events.
