About This Home

81+ Acres | Ocean Views | Near Refugio State Beach & Santa Ynez Valley - Set along the storied corridor of Refugio Canyon, this exceptional property offers expansive ocean vistas, complete privacy, and close proximity to the coast. The land includes multiple structures-a primary ocean-view cabin and a separate rustic mountain home, along with gently graded, usable areas that invite expansion, cultivation, or the creation of a more comprehensive compound, all within a unique microclimate.
A scenic five-mile drive along orchard-lined Refugio Canyon Road, passing the iconic Circle Bar B horse ranch, leads to a secluded setting of ancient oaks, seasonal creeks, and striking sandstone formations. The renovated cabin blends rustic character with modern comfort, supported by a solar energy system and private well with over 35,000 gallons of storage, enabling true off-grid, self-sufficient living without compromise.
With trails overlooking Refugio and Tajiguas Canyons out to the Channel Islands, and located near the historic Reagan Ranch, the property offers a rare balance of seclusion and accessibility. Ideally situated between wine country in Buellton and coastal Santa Barbara, both approximately 40 minutes away, the setting delivers privacy without sacrificing convenience, well-suited for a private retreat, farmstead, or regenerative living concept, with infrastructure in place for independent, off-grid living.
