CONTEMPORARY HACIENDA with Privacy, Views, and Quality Craftsmanship

Tucked behind gates in the coveted Rancho Estates and nestled within the Happy Canyon AVA, Rancho Reina is a private, 5+/- acre retreat and boutique vineyard in the heart of Santa Ynez wine country.

Perched on a scenic promontory, this beautifully reimagined California hacienda is enveloped by vineyards, rolling pastures, and uninterrupted sweeping views of the Santa Ynez Mountains. The single-level home blends warmth and elegance with 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, soaring vaulted ceilings, and an open-concept layout filled with natural light. Every room captures a view—inviting the outdoors in.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream with a generous center island, high-end appliances, open shelving, and striking design details that flow into a comfortable dining area and two stylish living rooms. Perfect for both entertaining and everyday living, the interiors transition seamlessly to expansive outdoor spaces featuring a heated pool, spa, bocce court, and multiple areas to lounge or dine alfresco under the stars.

The property has been extensively updated in recent years with a new roof, HVAC, septic, smart water heater, and water conditioner.  Modern conveniences include an EV-ready garage, and smart-home tech for lighting, pool, thermostat, irrigation, and security.  Its 5 acres have been beautifully enhanced with a combination of drought—and flood-tolerant foliage, eco-friendly irrigation, and meandering walking paths throughout.

A boutique, one-acre organic vineyard (“Reina”) produces premium-quality Grenache grapes—yielding approximately five tons annually. Managed by esteemed winemaker Fidencio Flores, the vineyard provides ample opportunity for cost recoupment and 100+/- cases of terrific wine to enjoy with family and friends. 

Additional features include a fully finished oversized garage, home gymnasium, and a peaceful dock by a stocked pond—perfect for fishing, wildlife watching, or afternoon daydreams.
