Santa Ynez Valley

Crizwood Ranch

Enter through custom iron gates and a tree-lined drive to this stunning 10 acre± hilltop estate located in the Valley’s finest corridor. The private and serene California Farmhouse was graciously designed for entertaining and comfortable luxury by the present owners in 1999, and built by the well-known and respected contractor, Matt Loudon.  This 4,000± square foot main residence takes advantage of the magnificent views of the Valley and Coastal Mountains and is just minutes from the heart of Santa Ynez and the quaint resort town of Los Olivos. 

At the heart of the home is the Great Room which features 12’ vaulted ceilings and Homerwood solid ¾ inch wood floors made and signed by the Amish. The room is centered around an impressive custom fireplace and has numerous French Doors and lofty windows which allows for a light and bright ambiance.  A chef’s dream Kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances opens to the great room and an adjacent breakfast room with built-in cabinetry and French doors which lead out to the patio; perfect for your morning coffee or leisurely dining.  The formal Dining room is dressed in rich custom paint and luxurious draperies.

The Master Bedroom wing is located on the west end of the home and offers large windows and French Doors which showcase the East views.  The room is incredibly spacious with a sitting area, custom built-in cabinetry, and a bench seat which overlooks one of the magnificent rose gardens.  The suite is complete with an exquisite master bath, a walk-in closet and two additional closets.

The east end of the home features two bedrooms and a large dual sink bathroom.  Each room has large closets and views in every direction which can be enjoyed from the bay window.  There is an additional bedroom with gorgeous custom cabinetry that is currently being used as an office.

This stunning estate offers the coveted California Valley lifestyle; sophistication with a warm and casual atmosphere.  The manicured grounds feature a central stone patio, outdoor kitchen, trellis areas, and mature and thoughtful landscaping with over 150 roses throughout the property; some of which are now extinct but were propagated from the Pasadena Rose society.

Located at the bottom of the property is a 2nd Residence that exudes charm!  This structure is currently being used as a 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartment with a full kitchen and hard wood floors.  The other half is used as a dog kennel (with license) with runs and paddocks for the animals.  Surrounded by a white picket fence and countless roses, the mature landscape provides privacy for guests or your own private workshop.

This truly special estate offers the ultimate Valley lifestyle with breathtaking views and room for a boutique vineyard or equine pursuits.
