About This Home

As of August 2025

Tucked behind a private gate on 3+ acres, this meticulously maintained mini estate offers refined living in a serene, park-like setting. Mature trees, manicured lawns, and a peaceful pond create a sense of seclusion—while still just minutes from town and all that Santa Ynez wine country has to offer.

The 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath main residence has been thoughtfully upgraded with premium finishes throughout. The open-concept great room is centered around a designer kitchen featuring Walker Zanger Balsatina countertops, a Wolf 48'' Dual Fuel Range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and Thermador warming oven—all seamlessly integrated into custom white cabinetry with sleek hardware and a clean, minimalist backsplash. A spacious center island offers ample prep space and invites casual gatherings.

The kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining area and a generous living space with vaulted, white-painted wood beam ceilings, a stone fireplace with rustic wood mantle, and hardwood floors throughout. Bathrooms are finished with Quartz surfaces, Kohler and Toto fixtures, and a spa-like primary suite featuring heated floors and dual shower heads. Large windows and glass doors fill the home with natural light and connect the interior to the beautiful surroundings.

Additional highlights include a home office with a powder room, a temperature-controlled wine room, and an attached garage connected by a breezeway that leads to a separate room and full batheach with its own HVAC system. New roofs were installed in 2025.

French doors open to the landscaped yard, perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living. A stone path leads to a vine-covered arbor by the pondideal for relaxing or entertaining. The property features a fully lined pond with dual aerators, two water sources (a new private well and Santa Ynez River District hookup), a fully owned solar system that powers the entire estate, and a generator for added peace of mind.
The detached 2,000 sq ft barn/garage is fully insulated, with polished concrete floors, vaulted ceilings, custom cabinetry, and dedicated HVACideal for car collectors, creatives, or large-scale entertaining.

There's room for a pasture near the creek bed, and the upper hillside offers potential for a vineyard, guest house, or ADUwith panoramic views to match.
