Gently rolling grasslands unfold toward panoramic vistas of the Los Padres range and the dramatic Coastal Mountain range, creating a setting of remarkable serenity and scale. Ideally positioned between Los Olivos and Santa Ynez, the property enjoys close proximity to the Valley's renowned wineries, dining and amenities while benefiting from the security and stewardship of a respected homeowners association.
