This 100+/- acre ranch is located outside Los Olivos, Santa Barbara County’s quaint wine and food hub, along picturesque Foxen Canyon, the historic route between the Santa Ynez and the Santa Maria Valleys. The neighbors along this 20 mile stretch of road have the occasional “block party” to celebrate their role in preserving the early California Ranchero heritage. Ranches along Foxen Canyon Road are rare to come onto the market and this one has never previously been marketed.

With sensitivity to the area history and its commanding landscape, the home featured in both House Beautiful and Santa Barbara Magazines and created by well-known designer Mary Watkins Wood is set on a breathtaking mesa with 360 degree views of untouched oak savannah and grazing cattle. It is completely self-sustaining with its own well, is powered by a state-of-the-art photovoltaic solar system and has many green finishes.

Sets of custom French doors open to a wide veranda overlooking the pool. This outdoor living space is ideal for dining or gathering around the outdoor fireplace. The home has high beamed ceilings, wide plank floors throughout and an array of high-end finishes and fixtures. There is an elegant master suite, large gracious living room with fireplace, dining and media rooms, custom chef’s kitchen with a 72” Lacanche range and butler’s pantry, plus two additional ensuite bedrooms and a total of 3½ baths.
