The private upstairs master suite has three balconies, a large walk-in closet, separate sitting room, steam shower and bath. The ground floor master with en-suite bath is ideally located a distance from the 2 additional guest suites and den. Stunning specimen trees and fruit trees are abundant, as well as gorgeous ancient oaks. The stable adds additional charm with its own guest/manager's quarters and the wide aisle is often used for harvest tables and wine tasting. A lovely art studio is quietly located near the barn overlooking a pastoral valley setting and equine improvements. Nestled halfway between Santa Ynez and Los Olivos, it is five minutes to these quaint towns with restaurants, tasting rooms, and world class wineries.
