Carey Kendall presents Rancho Rio Robles -  100+/- acre luxury ranch retreat in Santa Barbara Wine Country

Peaceful, Serene, and Private.  A special property providing refuge from crowded cities and over-scheduled lives.

Rancho Rio Robles is a 103-acre luxury ranch located along a meandering river in California’s beautiful Santa Ynez Valley, home to internationally acclaimed wineries, vineyards and equestrian ranches. The 16-room 6 bath main residence is large enough to contain all the amenities you expect from a luxury property but lives cozy, with sun-filled rooms and extensive verandas, surrounded by colorful gardens, mature landscaping, and stunning panoramas of the surrounding mountains and hills. It is truly one of the most beautiful settings in California.

The Ranch property offers great utility with its flat and highly useable acreage and outstanding water resources. While providing great privacy and serenity - a true retreat, Rancho Rio Robles is only minutes to the Valley’s shopping, fine dining, and first-class medical facilities, a commuter’s distance to Santa Barbara, and a two-hour drive to Los Angeles.

The 8,000+ square foot main residence was designed by well-known Santa Barbara architect Tom Meany, who, with the owners, created a spectacular “Farmhouse”.  The design is a sophisticated interpretation of the Australian Queenslander style, embodying elements of American Craftsman and Sea Island Plantation, which together proffer a perfect blend of country and sophistication, luxury amenities and modern technology. The residence features four bedrooms, three of which are ensuite, and gracious living areas which include a great room, country kitchen and morning room, formal dining room, library, a luxurious 12 seat theater, 1,000 bottle wine cellar, craft room, extensive covered verandas, two private offices, two laundry rooms, and a three-car garage. 

The ranch’s other facilities include a 3,500 square foot additional residence, a ranch manager’s house, shop, barn, a boutique vineyard and almost 65 acres of green fields of orchard grass and oats, and two fenced and irrigated horse pastures with turnout facilities. Water is supplied by three highly productive wells, with the agricultural well producing over 1,000 gallons of water per minute, sufficient for almost any endeavor.

Rancho Rio Robles offers an extraordinary refuge from the crowds and the hustle and bustle. It is a unique property combining privacy, charm, brilliant design, skilled craftsmanship, luxury, all amid truly beautiful surroundings.

The Property:

Situated in prestigious Happy Canyon is one of the Valley’s most coveted estates offering a lifestyle that would be hard to duplicate here in the states.  The 106 +/- acre “Figueroa Farms” transports you to the Italian countryside surrounded by rolling golden hills, orchards of olive trees, and vineyards as far as the eye can see. 

Winding past miles of vineyards, enter through iron gates and up a tree-lined drive which winds past stunning countryside and leads you to an Italian-style Manor home surrounded by acres of olive orchards.

Inspired by the country homes of Italy, this magnificent residence displays fine craftsmanship and attention to detail at every turn; from custom solid walnut doors and windows, stone window sills, custom made floor tiles, 12” to 18” plaster walls, and custom lighting and iron work throughout, every inch was carefully thought out and no expense spared. 

Santa Ynez Valley

A mere two hours north of Los Angeles, and only 30 minutes from Santa Barbara, 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. 

Within this very special valley is a sublime area known as Happy Canyon…..home to 100 acre or more ranch and vineyard estates owned by a select few who were adept enough to discover this area of incredible beauty.

Address: Figueroa Farms, 1883 Fletcher Way, Santa Ynez Valley, CA 93460

Price: $12,250,000
