Stunning Spanish Oasis Retreat

Perched atop a hill on five gorgeous acres, Rancho Santuario is a stunning five bedroom Spanish oasis retreat. Centrally located on the well-known Refugio Road, this newly remodeled masterpiece is the very definition of luxury. The sweeping views of the Santa Ynez Valley and Figueroa Mountains are absolutely breathtaking. Rancho Santuario is perfect for outdoor living and entertaining, with a built-in gas barbecue and imported wood-burning pizza oven. You can dine outdoors at the large teak al fresco table or relax in the polished outdoor lounge furniture overlooking the beautiful salt water, infinity pool, with spa. The six-bedroom home is casual yet sophisticated, with an entertainment system, expansive gourmet chef’s kitchen, large center island and large dining room table for twelve — all with mountain views. The private master suite has three balconies, a large walk-in closet, separate sitting room, steam shower and bath with — you guessed it — mountain views. Numerous fruit trees pepper the property (pomegranate, orange, peach, apple, lemon), as do gorgeous ancient oaks. A barn with stables and numerous riding rings grace the property, adding further charm to this exceptional estate. Nestled halfway between Santa Ynez and Los Olivos, you’re five minutes to these quaint towns with restaurants, tasting rooms, and of course, the wineries beyond. The area is perfect for outdoor activities including horseback riding, hiking, bicycling and is just fifteen minutes from Lake Cachuma and Alisal Golf Club. This is a perfect getaway offering the best of the Santa Ynez Valley. ***Prior to the recent Santa Barbara County ordinance restricting short term rentals (30 days or less), this home has always been rented as a 5 bedroom property, accommodating up to 10 adults.
