About This Home
As of May 2025Perched on a hilltop in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, this meticulously designed home offers a perfect blend of modern luxury and timeless craftsmanship. Thoughtfully appointed with high-end finishes, the residence seamlessly combines elegance with functionality. Step inside to find the formal living-dining space with soaring ceilings, a gas fireplace and built-ins, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The open-concept great room offers welcoming spaces for lounging and informal dining, complemented by a wet bar and a stunning chef's kitchen, featuring Thermador appliances including a professional-grade range, custom cabinetry and granite countertops. Nearby, you'll find the marble-accented laundry room, a half bath, and direct access to the three-car garage. The private primary suite is a true retreat, with windows offering tranquil views, a walk-in closet and additional storage, and a luxurious en-suite bath boasting high-end fixtures, heated floors and towel rack, and a large walk-in shower. Step outside to a secluded patio, where a private hot tub invites relaxation under the stars. Two additional bedrooms are well-appointed and share a beautifully renovated guest bathroom. The dedicated office provides a quiet workspace but can easily be converted into a fourth bedroom if desired.
Outdoors, the expansive backyard offers seating and dining areas, mature fruit trees, raised garden beds with an automated watering system, and a charming shed. Owned solar panels with a Tesla battery backup ensure energy efficiency and reliability.
