1185 Fredensborg Canyon

Nestled within the serene beauty of the Santa Ynez Valley, lies a captivating 5+-acre ranchette that epitomizes the essence of rural charm and idyllic countryside living. This picturesque property offers a unique blend of privacy and natural splendor, all while being recently renovated to perfection.

Down a long meandering driveway, you are greeted by the gentle rustling of towering oak trees and the soft whispers of nature; perfect harmony between manicured landscapes and untouched wilderness.

The centerpiece of this property is a stunning ranch-style home that exudes warmth and sophistication.  The home was renovated down to its studs and expanded and finished with elegant contemporary farmhouse finishes blended seamlessly with rustic elements that create an inviting atmosphere. Inside, the residence features spacious living areas adorned with French Oak hardwood floors and large windows that flood the rooms with natural light, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding beauty. 

A gourmet kitchen, equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and custom cabinetry, awaits culinary enthusiasts. The home features 3 comfortable en-suite bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite complete with a spa-like bathroom, providing a serene retreat at the end of the day.

Beyond the enchanting residence, the outdoor amenities of the ranchette are equally impressive. The expansive grounds provide endless possibilities for outdoor recreation and relaxation.  For those with equestrian interests, the property features a charming barn with stalls and a tack room, making it ideal for housing and caring for horses.

Above the barn is a fully renovated Guest House which is as charming and well designed as the main house. 

The ranchette is conveniently located to enjoy the best of both worlds—secluded rural living while being conveniently close to the amenities and attractions of Solvang and the Santa Ynez Valley.

An opportunity to embrace a tranquil lifestyle surrounded by natural beauty. With its exquisite residence, breathtaking setting, and proximity to the charming town of Solvang, this property is a testament to the allure of countryside living at its finest.
