Patrick Swayze turned 4.5-acre LA ranch into Arabian horse retreat

American actor and dancer Patrick Swayze spent much of his career moving between Hollywood sets and the dance floor. Away from both, he and his wife, Lisa Niemi, built a very different kind of retreat in California. A 4.5-acre ranch where they bred and rode Arabian horses and created dedicated spaces for both equestrian activities and dance.Known as Rancho Bizarro, the property in the San Fernando Valley included a 16-stall barn, two arenas, a round yard, and a dance studio. Decades after Swayze and Niemi bought the property, it returned to the market with a $4.5 million asking price. An entity tied to philanthropist and oil heiress Aileen Getty had bought the ranch from Niemi for $2.9 million in 2015, Mansion Global reported.The ranch Patrick Swayze built around horses and danceSwayze and Niemi bought the 4.5-acre property in the 1980s and developed it into an equestrian estate.
