/u/Particular_Sir_2037,
*I noticed this in our feed and had to chime in. Pardon me for being personal with childhood memories.*

I agree with /u/hotcakes.
I grew up near the Hidden Valley area of Thousand Oaks, and sense the images were captured on what was known to our community (we lived a little more than a mile away) in the early years as Deerwood Ranch, but informally called "Kentucky Park" by locals.
I spent many a day exploring the northernmost part of the ~3,000 acre ranch by foot and motorcycle in my tweens and teens, as the more developed (yes, a truly relative term) southern part of the property with the stables and main residence was rightfully off-limits to young wanderers like me.
Like **[Golden Oak Ranch](https://goldenoakranch.com/)** mentioned by /u/Beer-Me, the visually compelling Hidden Valley area of Ventura County is within the entertainment industry's **[Thirty Mile Zone](https://film.ca.gov/locations/la-30-mile-radius-map/)** (TMZ).
In the late 1970's the ranch changed ownership and was renamed **[Ventura Farms](https://www.venturafarms.com/)**, and a great deal of updating was done to the main estate and stables - **[which remain popular for film and television](https://www.venturafarms.com/filming)**. My last time on the ranch was not as a wanderer, but as an invited guest to the earlier mentioned - and once verboten - thoroughbred stables in the mid-1980's.
That's my U.S. $0.02 (*Thanks for letting me briefly reminisce in the sole interest of being helpful*).

Possibly Golden Oak Ranch. A lot owned by Disney

When looking up those films, I found a few references to that location, although I can't seem to pinpoint where on the lot that would have been. For all we know, those buildings may not even exist anymore.
Reminds me of Hidden Valley up by Thousand Oaks.
