Los Olivos

Open Space And Panoramic Vistas
Santa Barbara County, California

This 400 +/- acre parcel, surrounded by historic ranchos, is a classic example of the best of California’s picturesque rural countryside. Gently rolling hills spotted with ancient oak trees and valleys of woodlands teem with wildlife from deer to soaring hawks. Foxen Canyon Road provides miles of uninterrupted vistas of hillsides with cattle grazing and of vineyards.

This property is about 2 hours north of the Los Angeles area inland from the City of Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley.

Northern Santa Barbara County is a prime wine grape growing region in California. The cooling coastal influence which flows up the Santa Maria River combines with a dryer up valley climate to make this parcel’s location potentially a prime vineyard site along the “Foxen Canyon Wine Trail” for a boutique vineyard. 

The land is composed of southern facing slopes that roll, in a series of benches, up to an open mesa at which there are commanding views across the vineyards of the Santa Maria Valley, out to the Guadalupe Dunes and the Pacific Ocean. There is a well recently tested at a production of 170 +/- GPM sustainable yield and hydrological analysis indicates that there is excellent potential at additional sites to develop other wells of equal capacity. Water quality data indicates that the water will require treatment for agricultural persuits.

This is an area of ranches, open space, farm fields and vineyards owned by land grant descendants and families committed to preserving the quality of life that this truly special rural area offers creates an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy the peace and serenity of country life.

The quaint town of Los Olivos with historic Mattie’s Tavern in the Santa Ynez Valley is at south end of Foxen Canyon Road while the townships of Sisquoc and Geary bookend it’s west side.

A rare offering at $3,995,000.
