Meadowlark Ranches

Situated in the prestigious Meadowlark Ranch is one of the most spectacularly sited 5 acre parcels in the Santa Ynez Valley.  A single private road winds past vineyards, grazing land, and ranches, all against the panorama of the Santa Ynez Mountains, leading you to the gated parcel at the end of the lane.

Designed by the noted local architect Evan Jones, and constructed in 2004, the owner designed the single level home to take advantage of the extraordinary views of the coastal mountain range and neighboring vineyards. 

Dramatic entry doors open to a spacious living area and wall to wall windows that take in the majestic vistas.  The interior space is voluminous with high ceilings and doors throughout with almost all rooms featuring French doors which open to the sprawling covered veranda and open to the dramatic southerly views.  Wide hallways allow easy access to both wings.  On the west side of the home is a spacious guest wing of two en-suite bedrooms and a half bath.  The master suite is on the east end of the home offering a private retreat away from family or guests.

The majority of the property is perched high overlooking the vineyards; however, on the lower acreage is a remnant of an older arena and fenced paddock.  While there have not been horses for quite some time, the area awaits a new owner.  The lot offers plenty of open space for whatever use a new owner should contemplate; barn, guest house, vines, orchard or leave as a natural meadow.  The property is part of the Meadowlark Homeowner’s Association with water service provided by private and low cost wells. 

This offering is a rare opportunity; private location, yet minutes from Santa Ynez; a well-constructed home offering tremendous views and a blank canvas to create a dream estate.
