Santa Ynez, California 93460

$5,900,000

On about 22 acres, this estate is surrounded by mountain views and overlooks the upscale Santa Ynez Valley; internationally known for premium vineyards and wineries, horse farms and quaint towns featuring some of the finest dining on the west coast. It is here that one can experience the best of country lifestyle while only about 30 minutes from the "American Riviera" city of Santa Barbara and with easy access via air or vehicle to Los Angeles and the Bay Area.

Inspired by renowned architect Wallace Neff, who created in the 1920's the "California Style" inspired by Spanish and Mediterranean architecture, this almost 6000 square foot residence is elegant and sophisticated, yet is designed for enjoying the casual outdoors; the key to California living in the Santa Ynez Valley. The gardens surrounding the main residence are designed by world famous landscape architect, Isabelle Greene, and have matured to add old world charm to the stunning surrounding vistas.

All this is found atop a hilltop mesa at the end of a gently curved driveway. A valuable asset of the estate is that it is two legal parcels which allows permitting for multiple structures. Current improvements include the 7 bedroom 6 bath main residence with detached 3 car garage, pool and spa, a hydra-court tennis court with an arbor covered viewing stand, a 2 bedroom, 1 bath guest casita with living/dining room and at a greater distance from the main house, a roughly 1,000 sq. ft. 'barn' second residence with an artist's studio.

The residence wraps around a courtyard with a pool, spa and 1000 square foot loggia with an outdoor fireplace ideal for evening dining and entertaining. Overlooking the valley from the courtyard is an outdoor kitchen complete with pizza oven, 2 burner stove, barbeque, refrigerator, sink and prep areas.

Warm and inviting, the home has 6 fireplaces, hand-plastered walls with stenciled and faux finish detailing, finely crafted wood, wrought iron light fixtures, Saltillo tile floors, vaulted and beamed ceilings and crafted tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. The East Wing bedroom suite is currently converted into a reception area, 2 offices and an artist's studio.
