A mere two hours north of Los Angeles, one is enveloped in a landscape of vineyards, horse ranches, farms and schoolhouses. You travel back in time where simple pleasures, open spaces, mossy oaks, grassy fields, seas of blue lupine, bright orange poppies and warm sunny days are found. It seems impossible that such a place still exists in 21st Century California. The Santa Ynez Valley has become the best kept secret of the celebrity crowd. All who are fortunate enough to live here closely guard its quiet serenity.

Situated in the prestigious Still Meadow enclave of the Santa Ynez Valley is one of the area’s finest and most impressive five+ acre estates.

Perched on a gracious knoll in the serene township of Ballard is an exquisite, French-style Vineyard Estate. Each intricate detail of the estate’s exterior hints at the fine craftsmanship of its impeccable interior. Grand entry gates introduce a meandering, olive tree and stone lined drive leading past the vineyard to a gracious motor court adorned with mature landscape and stone walls.

The expertly designed and crafted main residence is 5,500+/- SF featuring 4 bedrooms, and 5 ½ baths and dressed in the finest materials such as marble and granite countertops, solid wood custom cabinetry, and hydronic heated limestone and French oak wood floors to name a few.

Spend your afternoons swimming in the pool and enjoying a playful game of bocce followed by an evening under the stars entertaining in the outdoor kitchen, cooking pizzas in your wood burning oven, and sipping your own wine by the outdoor fireplace.

Invite your friends and family to share this slice of heaven while staying in the private 2 bedroom, two bath second residence.

This estate is complete with an orchard, vegetable garden, chicken coup, and a large storage barn with an office and bathroom as well as 2nd floor living quarters; perfect for a multitude of hobbies! The 3.5+/- acre vineyard contains approximately 1000 roussanne, 1000 viognier, and 500 marssanne grape vines; all Rhone, France patented stock. This estate is an exquisite arrangement of elegant structures and playful recreation in a magnificent vineyard landscape. It captures the very essence of the Santa Ynez Valley lifestyle while only being a 5 minute drive to shopping, highly acclaimed restaurants, toprated schools, wineries, and horse ranches.
