An elevated escape with panoramic views, where comfort and ease feel almost dreamlike. Set on 5± acres in the heart of Santa Ynez Valley Wine Country, this modern Spanish-style ranchette rests within the highly sought-after Ballard School District. Gated and framed by natural beauty, a long scenic drive leads to a private setting defined by open skies, golden light, and sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and Figueroa Mountain.

Thoughtfully designed for multi-generational living, guests, or flexible lifestyle needs, the property lives like a private family compound with a remodeled main residence, detached guest house, studio space, and expansive outdoor areas.

The remodeled 4 bedroom, 3 bath main home blends warmth with contemporary design, creating spaces that feel both inviting and inspired. At its heart, a chef’s kitchen opens effortlessly to the outdoors through a full wall of bi-fold glass doors, while a sunlit built-in breakfast banquette invites slow mornings and easy conversation. Vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, polished concrete floors, custom imported wrought iron lighting, and a cozy fireplace lend texture and character, balancing relaxed comfort with understated elegance. Picture windows frame panoramic views throughout the home, while a separate family room and bonus office offer flexibility for both quiet retreat and lively gatherings.

A detached 1 bedroom, 1 bath guest house offers a charming extension of the property, complete with its own private driveway, two-car garage, and lower-level studio or office, ideal for visitors, creative pursuits, or additional income potential.

Outdoors, the grounds unfold like a hidden world waiting to be explored. The lower three acres have been thoughtfully groomed into a magical forest of live oaks, where protected majestic trees create a canopy of dappled light and winding paths. A charming greenhouse, trellised potting shed, flourishing fruit orchards, and a stylish tiny house gym with deck further enhance the property’s unique ranchette setting. The expansive flat driveway and open land create space for recreation, gatherings, and everyday enjoyment surrounded by panoramic views and breathtaking natural beauty.
