Description

Nestled within the heart of Solvang's esteemed horse country, this distinguished gated estate sprawls across 25+ acres of private terrain, gracefully situated off Mesa Hills on Ballard Canyon--an American Viticulture Area renowned for its award-winning wines. Tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac atop a scenic bluff, a picturesque driveway unfolds lined by lush shrubbery, revealing sweeping vistas of the valley beyond, framed by lush pastures. Boasting ample flat acreage, the property enjoys a remote location, yet only 5 minutes from local conveniences. Crafted by Mark Hemming, this renovated four-bedroom, four-bathroom residence features an array of upgrades. The well-designed floor plan delineates a primary suite and a cozy bedroom on one wing, while two additional bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom, grace the opposite side. The kitchen exudes both style and functionality with custom kitchen cabinets, GE Monogram appliances, and captivating views of the infinity pool and spa and the picturesque Santa Ynez Valley. Two wood-burning fireplaces, one nestled within the family room and the other embellishing the formal living room alongside a wine bar and refrigerator, add warmth and character to the home. The entire property is embraced by breathtaking valley panoramas, and the newly constructed outdoor riding arena provides a scenic backdrop for equestrian lovers. The coveted indoor riding arena, housing 10 stalls, stands as a testament to craftsmanship and dedication. The barn, boasting an additional 14 stalls, offers versatility with two stalls repurposed as a greenhouse, easily convertible back to horse accommodations. The barn features a new roof and fresh exterior paint, and includes an office with French doors, plumbing for a bathroom, and a tack room.A mature fruit orchard yields an abundance of apples, lemons, limes, grapefruit, avocados, roses, and figs. The property features a meticulously maintained robust irrigation system serving the orchard, pastures, and landscaping. Exuding pride and passion, this unique property stands as a haven for both equine professionals and wine country enthusiasts alike.
