This remarkable 174-acre ranch in Happy Canyon of Santa Ynez, California, presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a tranquil and private retreat amidst breathtaking natural surroundings. Nestled at the end of a winding road, the property boasts rolling farmland, majestic mountain views, and a lush landscape adorned with native pine and oak trees, making it an ideal haven for ranchers, nature enthusiasts, or anyone longing for serenity. The ranch includes three distinct residences: a charming adobe brick main house with two bedrooms, spacious living and family areas, and patios offering stunning vistas of the Santa Ynez Mountains; a quaint guest house providing a cozy escape in a shaded canyon; and a manager's house for added convenience. These residences are thoughtfully designed to blend comfort with the natural beauty of the area. Sustainability is a key feature of this property. A private well supplies water to two 30,000-gallon cisterns and a 5,000-gallon tank dedicated to cattle. The land benefits from the Williamson Act Agricultural Preserve, which offers property tax advantages. Fenced for grazing, the ranch includes two large pastures equipped with water troughs and shelters. Additional facilities include a barn/shop, a cattle working pen with squeeze, and fertile soil that holds potential for vineyard development within the prestigious Happy Canyon AVA.
