20+/- Acre Wooded Retreat in Ballard Canyon

Situated in the scenic Ballard Canyon area of the Santa Ynez Valley, and nestled under a canopy of oaks, sits a rustic retreat on 20± acres built with warmth and character, reminiscent of a mountain lodge.  Enter through stone gates and wind through large mature Oaks which lead to the main home comprised of 2,300± square feet and consisting of 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths. The main home is surrounded by manicured lush grounds and features a welcoming front porch, rock fireplace, beamed ceilings, warm wood floors and moldings, and a cabin-like ambiance that brings the outdoors in. Enjoy your morning coffee or long lingering dinners on the charming patio or out back in the lush courtyard.  Adjacent to the main house and across the courtyard is a beautiful guest house as well as a garage with 2nd story quarters. The property has 2 barns and an arena; one large barn with 8 stalls and turnouts, as well as a bathroom, and tack room. The smaller barn is adjacent to a beautiful orchard and has 4 stalls with turnouts, a tack room, and hay storage.  In addition there are 8 large fenced pastures. The property is served by a private well and 3 septic systems.  On a nearby knoll the views abound to Ballard Canyon and the distant mountains!
