A Southern California ranch formerly owned by the late actor Patrick Swayze has resurfaced on the market for $4.5 million, according to Mansion Global—and yes, it does come with a dance studio. The Dirty Dancing star bought the 4.5-acre San Fernando Valley property in the 1980s with his wife, dancer and actor Lisa Niemi. “We have built a really nice facility including a 16-stall barn, a roundyard and two arenas,” Swayze said of the equestrian estate, known as Rancho Bizarro, in a 1997 interview. The pair, who spent their spare time breeding and riding Arabian horses, also owned a horse ranch in New Mexico.

Niemi sold the compound, which is tucked behind gates at the end of a secluded cul-de-sac for $2.9 million in 2015. That was the last time that the hillside estate changed hands.

Ranch home with gray siding, red trim, and a broad stone-paved driveway.

Wood-paneled living room with exposed timber beams, a white fireplace, and a pale sectional sofa.

Home exercise studio with mirrored wall, exposed beams, and stationary bikes beside glass doors.

Equestrian stable behind a wooden-fenced arena, with cacti and hills nearby.
