Most rooms in this home have walls of windows or patio French doors highlighting the spectacular vineyard views and valley vistas.

Just outside are lawns and stone patios surrounding an infinity pool and spa area. A trellised, spacious courtyard patio area is ideal for entertaining and outdoor living with a gas / wood fireplace, outdoor kitchen with a gas rotisserie grill, and an additional oak wood grilling area next to the vineyards. The three acres of mature vineyards include award winning Merlot, Cabernet and Petit Verdot grapes planted on two separate gentle sloping hillsides on the property.

The location of this estate is secluded but just a 5-minute drive to Los Olivos, which boasts a myriad of tasting rooms and fine dining, or a 10-minute drive to the Danish town of Solvang, or a 30-minute drive to Santa Barbara.

This is one of the Santa Ynez Valley’s finest estates.
