Rancho Estates

Enter through stunning, rustic iron gates to a 5.8+/- acre compound in Rancho Estates; one of the Santa Ynez Valley’s most exclusive neighborhoods known for its equestrian properties, spectacular views, and very low-cost water. This parcel is extraordinarily private, serene, and thoughtfully designed with a sprawling, single-level main residence, 2nd residence, a Mission-inspired barn with bell tower, and numerous irrigated pastures. 

Situated on a knoll, the property backs up to large ranches and hundreds of acres of open range, where cattle graze daily. Views abound in all directions, from stunning vistas of the San Lorenzo Seminary to Figueroa Mountain and Happy Canyon, to endless acres of adjacent vineyards. 

The hacienda-style house is ready for a new owner to bring their creative vision to life. Currently, the 2,700+/- sf house consists of 4 bedrooms, 2 ½ bathrooms, and features 2 fireplaces: one in the spacious, vaulted living room and the other in the Saltillo-tiled family room. 

Off the kitchen and family room is a beautifully landscaped backyard with large, sparkling pool and covered patio.

Set a good distance away from the main house is a private 1,000+/- sf 2nd residence with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and an open concept living room and kitchen. Built in 2007, this residence was beautifully designed with vaulted, open-beamed ceilings, solid Alder doors, and a wraparound veranda. It’s an absolute treat for guests or tenants alike.

For the equestrian lover, there is an 80 foot-long 4 stall barn with attached paddocks, wash rack, feed room and tack room. There are two acres of irrigated pastures, flanked by a 600-foot-long driveway that is lined with olive trees and Italian Cypress.

The property also boasts a fully owned 6.2 KW ground-mount solar array, EV charging station in the 2 1/2 car garage, and a separate RV parking pad with full electrical hook-ups.

The 5.8+/- acres are flat, level, and useable  with excellent prospects for a boutique vineyard or orchards with an inexpensive and plentiful water source. Finding an estate with this special ambiance and the opportunity to improve upon it, is unique in today’s market. It’s time to make your dream, a reality.
