Those seeking to find their piece of paradise in Santa Ynez for under 1 million dollars usually include these 5 highly sought-after features on their "must have" list:

1. Private and secluded from neighboring properties and the street, but not isolated.

2. Walking distance to town, schools, park, vineyards, shops and restaurants

3. At least .5 acre of useable, mature land

4. Move-in ready, quality-constructed home with unique features: a departure from the bland or unoriginal.

6. Swimming pool

Newly on the market, 3460 Tivola Street in Santa Ynez fulfills this discriminating list beautifully. 

Nestled away from the street, along a meandering woodsy creek under a canopy of glorious Oak Trees, is this custom-built two story home. Within 2 blocks of the quaint shops and eateries of Santa Ynez, this home is so quietly tucked away on a roomy and divine .82 acre parcel that it enjoys a pristine degree of unencroached serenity.

From almost every window, abundant natural foilage is the view - not neighboring houses. Built in 1991, this home offers an open Great Room concept with newly refinished hardwood and Saltillo tile floors, pale marble fireplace, soaring two-story ceilings, custom-tiled kitchen and baths, and sets of French Doors opening onto the pool pavillion. The heated swimming pool harmonizes with patios, a fountain, manicured lawn areas, mature oak and flowering trees, and seasonal creek.

This property is a sheer Entertainer's Delight in the heart of the Wine Country. Come and be delighted.
