Santa Ynez

California’s Central Coast and the private little Santa Ynez Valley in particular was the best choice for this Scottsdale based Arabian Horse operation. Located just 45 minutes north of Santa Barbara, the Santa Ynez Valley has become one of the most sought after homes for Arabian, Thoroughbred, Peruvian Paso, Warm Blood, and many other breeds. With the temperate climate, the Santa Ynez Valley is a much sought after enclave of horse ranches and vineyards.   

The owners made many trips from Scottsdale, looking for the perfect summer home for their Arabian horse farm. They discovered the 36 acres of Oak covered grassy land after several years of searching for the perfect location, perfect topography, and the perfect size parcel of land.  The 36 acres is just big enough, but not too big, with south and west facing slopes for maximum sunshine. It is perfectly suited for their Arabians or California wine grapes.  Located in the center of the Santa Ynez Valley, and with the very gentle slopes, the land is perfect for both!

The owners began construction of their farm with the barn as the first order of business, incorporating a “groom’s apartment” that was the perfect weekend home while they continued to plan and build the farm of their dreams.   The owner, a developer of some of Scottsdale’s finest residential communities, designed and built an Arizona inspired home of 3 bedrooms, 2 ½ baths, using fine woods and appointments.  An expansive deck is built around one of the many 100 year old oaks where the owners enjoy entertaining. A spa is just outside the master bedroom. This custom home can be converted to a Manager’s home or a very exclusive guest facility when the main estate is completed on the hilltop overlooking the horse farm.

This dream estate, not quite to completion, is now offered for sale. The main home setting, with 360 degree views, grassy slopes, and ancient Oak trees is ready to build the home of YOUR dreams.  

All utilities are on the property including private water well. There are no Homeowner’s Associations or water companies involved.  Meant for relaxation and privacy, the estate is ready for a new owner!

The 36 acre future masterpiece is offered at $2,995,000
