In the Santa Ynez Valley’s premier area of Happy Canyon, this 110+/- acre ranch estate on gently rolling terra has an organic 18+/- acre vineyard. This vineyard includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Noir, Cab Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec grapes; all highly prized by “top of the line” wine makers and vintners.

 

Surrounded by the vineyards is a 2+/- acre lake with a dock, a sand beach, palapa, barbeque, entertainment area and lawns. 

 

From almost every vantage point on the ranch are spectacular vistas of vineyards and rolling hillsides spotted with historic oak trees with a back drop of distant mountains. The land is fenced and cross fenced for horses and cattle.

 

The main residence has 5 bedrooms and five full and two ½ bathrooms. It was recently renovated with state of the art mechanical systems, high end appliances and fixtures, finely crafted details that include extensive tile work and Venetian plastered walls, plank wood floors, an open family room and kitchen with a pizza oven, formal dining and living rooms, a study, laundry room and guest suite. A country style rear porch looks across an infinity pool, outdoor kitchen and gardens to the vineyards and breathtaking views. The setting is private, yet there are 360’ panoramic views.

 

Rare in Santa Barbara County, the property has a 2500+/- square foot 2 bedroom 2 bath second residence newly completed in 2011. Overlooking the lake, it is of architectural quality with beamed vaulted ceilings, natural light onto the living room and kitchen areas, a spacious covered porch with glass doors that slide into the walls and a family room with bar area.

 

The barn has 12 horse stalls, most with covered turnouts, a tack room, large storage and equipment rooms, an office and bathroom, a laundry area and a two bedroom, two bath 2nd floor manager’s quarters.

From the entrance gates throughout, this ranch and vineyard estate represents the finest in country lifestyle living and quality improvements. 

 

The Santa Ynez Valley and Happy Canyon are located about 2 hours north of Los Angeles on U.S. 101 through Santa Barbara over Hwy 154 and past Lake Cachuma.
