Property details

Permit No.: 153-F1 3 BEDROOMS | 3 BATHROOMS | 8 GUESTS Set across 20 private acres in the heart of Ballard Canyon, this estate goes far beyond a typical getaway—it is a fully immersive wine country retreat. Framed by rolling hills, working vineyards, and majestic ancient oaks, the property delivers complete seclusion just minutes from Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, and Solvang. The newly remodeled contemporary farmhouse is masterfully designed for effortless gathering, featuring soaring wood-beamed ceilings, warm natural textures, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. At its center, a dual-sided fireplace anchors the expansive living and dining spaces, opening onto an inviting front porch lounge. Upstairs, the primary sanctuary commands panoramic vineyard views, complete with a private balcony, fireplace, and spa-inspired bath. Ground-floor guest suites offer peaceful comfort with direct patio access. The outdoors reveal the estate’s true magic: custom cedar hot tub and outdoor sauna, firepit sheltered by oaks, shaded hammocks, and sprawling lawns. Whether you are sipping estate-grown Ballard Canyon wine at golden hour, enjoying morning espresso on the porch, or unwinding after a day of tasting, life here adopts a slower, richer rhythm.

The place is pricey but it’s a lovely stay if you want to get away and have some fresh air. The sauna was a nice touch. The hot tub was hard for me because of the ants surrounding the deck, but it is the “great outdoors” so those things will happen. The fireplace in the living room was very lovely and cozy. It rained for the majority of our trip so we didn’t get a chance to use the outside fireplace. I would def book this place again

Great location! Beautiful view of the mountains, really allows you to separate yourself from the town and enjoy the view and moments.

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. It worked perfectly for our family and granddaughter. Any question or request we had was answered quickly. The property is magical, and we enjoyed the spa, sauna, 2 porches, and plentiful outdoor chairs.
