About This Home
As of July 2025Step into paradise at 991 College Canyon Road—your own private retreat tucked away in the heart of Solvang. Privately located at the end of a peaceful road on a 1.43-acre secluded parcel, this Mediterranean-inspired estate offers the perfect balance of serenity, timeless elegance, and sweeping Santa Ynez Valley views.
The home’s design is anchored by vaulted wood-beam ceilings, natural light throughout, and multiple French doors opening to a tranquil central courtyard. At its heart, the courtyard features a beautiful fountain and serves as a seamless gateway to the show-stopping pool and spa area. Recently upgraded with a new heater and pump system, the poolside setting now delivers a true resort-style experience, complete with a built-in spa, serene waterfall, and expansive lounge deck ideal for sunbathing or entertaining.
Inside, the generous floor plan offers six well-appointed bedrooms and five bathrooms, perfectly suited for comfortable living, hosting, or multi-generational arrangements. The primary suite provides direct courtyard access and views of the lush, private backyard. A flexible bonus room with its own private entrance offers an ideal setup for a home office, creative studio, or guest retreat. A standout upstairs guest suite features an en suite bath and private patio with panoramic views—offering an elevated space for visitors or extended family.
This exceptional property has been thoughtfully enhanced with extensive recent improvements including a brand-new roof, all-new skylights, updated plumbing and electrical systems, and significant pool upgrades. The pool area has also passed a full leak detection inspection, ensuring a worry-free, resort-style experience.
The expansive lot includes a large, level area at the rear—offering endless potential for equestrian use, hobby farming, or the development of a boutique vineyard. Zoned for horses, goats, and other livestock, the property supports a range of lifestyle or agricultural aspirations.
Located in one of Solvang’s most desirable neighborhoods, just minutes from the vibrant shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions of downtown, this home offers a rare combination of luxury, privacy, and opportunity.
