Carey Kendall presents

“Seven Oaks” was designed in the style of the greatest English country house architect of the early 20th century, Sir Edwin Landseer Lutyens. His career spanned 50 years at a time when Britain was at the height of its prosperity, and his Edwardian clients, people of wealth and often power, reflected the opulence of the times.

The manor house is an accurate and thoroughly researched depiction of a Lutyen designed home and incorporates many of the features found in his best country houses. The main house, guesthouse, infinity-edge pool, and stables are fully integrated into romantically conceived gardens designed in the style of the famous garden designer Gertrude Jekyll (1843-1932).

The Estate is situated on 101+/- acres in the Santa Ynez Valley's Happy Canyon area and is set behind a security gate with 2,500 feet of driveway that leads to the residence and stable, allowing total privacy from the from public roads. The property is also part of the Happy Canyon AVA, adjacent to successful vineyards and much of the land on Seven Oaks could be converted to vineyard production or other AG or equestrian uses. The quality of design and construction is unparalleled.

Address: 5200 Armour Ranch Road, Santa Ynez Valley, CA 93460

100-acre luxury ranch retreat set along the Santa Ynez River.

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 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.
