Located in the private Mesa Hills neighborhood in the bucolic Santa Ynez Valley, this gated 5-acre ranch combines fine craftsmanship with an artful blend of rustic wood and warm natural stone. Nestled in the valley of wine and horses, this custom-designed ranch home features sprawling acreage, high-end horse facilities and an outdoor entertaining space with a luxurious pool/spa. Escape to this professionally designed estate with quality features throughout. The living room impresses with a bold open truss ceiling and paved stone underfoot, while the open concept kitchen boasts a farm sink, Kirkstone countertop and custom backsplash. The primary bedroom includes a massive stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings, ensuite bathroom and French doors opening up to views of the expansive ... grounds. Three additional bedrooms throughout the home provide the highest level of comfort, one of which functions nicely as a second primary suite. All bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings and beautiful wood flooring. The outdoor entertaining opportunities are endless with a large pool, waterfall, spa, and wood-fired pizza oven. As befits a ranch that bred Palomino horses, the equestrian facilities are expansive: center aisle barn with an office, full bath, tack room, shed row barn, arena/pastures, 3-car garage, and fruit orchard. The moment you step foot onto this 5-acre ranch, you will be swept back in time to the graceful and elegant California ranching lifestyle of yesterday with all of the modern amenities of today.
