Los Olivos

This  20 acre, gated, contemporary, Tuscan-inspired estate occupies one of the most astonishing view parcels in the Santa Ynez Valley. Located at the top of Ballard Canyon, this property enjoys panoramic easterly and southerly views including the majestic Santa Ynez mountain range and hundreds of acres of vineyards.

The 3,250 +/- sq.ft. home was originally built in 1989 by master builder, Martin Knight, and was updated throughout the early and mid 2000’s.  It was designed and sited to capture the property’s commanding views and to serve as a spectacular spot for entertaining. The main part of the home includes a living room with wood floors, fireplace and a wall of windows, which flows into a dining area and ultimately to a foodie’s kitchen, with high quality appliances, a copper-countered peninsula and a large pantry. The home was designed for work and play, with a very large family/game room and an office with extensive built-in furniture.  There are 3 bedrooms, including a master with great views and f/p, and 2 ½ baths.

Other buildings include an oversized, three-car garage, with plenty of room for a workshop and storage, a greenhouse and a small barn.

This property has taken advantage of the prized Rhone varietals coming out of the Ballard Canyon area. There is a 1 +/- acre Syrah and Grenache vineyard with ample room for expansion.

The property is located in the Los Olivos School District and is a short distance to shopping and other services. It offers the rare combination of rural feel and proximity to town. It also offers the peace, beauty and space desired by many who are fortunate enough to call the Santa Ynez Valley home.

This is a trustee sale.
