The Story Behind My Website’s Name
Ranch on the River: The Story Behind My Website’s Name
I took a trip up to FivePoint Valencia yesterday, and wow – so much has changed! It’s been a little while since my last visit, and the amount of new construction going on is impressive. They’re building and selling homes left and right!
While there, I had the pleasure of meeting Ivy, the sales representative at the Torrin Collection by Richmond American Homes. Ivy was such a joy to talk with – warm and welcoming. We had a wonderful chat, and I introduced her to Ranch on the River® as a resource for everything happening at FivePoint Valencia® and, of course, on the historic Newhall Ranch® that it’s built upon.
At one point, Ivy asked about the story behind my website’s name, Ranch on the River. I explained that when the project was first envisioned, it was named Newhall Ranch. And with the development beautifully woven along the Santa Clara River, “Ranch on the River” felt like the perfect fit. Even when FivePoint® rebranded the development to FivePoint Valencia® in 2019, my site kept its name – because, after all, this community is still the heart of Newhall Ranch, and it will always be the Ranch on the River to me.

Hello and welcome to Reflections! I’m Wendy Devine, the voice behind this blog.
A bit about me: as the daughter of a Navy Captain, I moved 15 times before age ten, and over the years, I’ve worn many hats—daughter, wife, real estate broker, mother of two wonderful children, and now grandmother to seven! My life’s journey has taught me a lot about navigating change, making a house a home, and sometimes learning the hard way. Through Reflections, I look forward to sharing insights from my experiences—both the wins and the not so fun lessons learned—to help you make the most of your real estate journey, moving adventures, and everything in between…hopefully getting it right the first time around.
With over 40 years of real estate experience in the Santa Clarita area, I’m here to guide you through everything FivePoint Valencia® has to offer. I hope you’ll join me on this journey!
Warmly,
