Property Description

Happy Canyon Retreat offers the rare opportunity to remake an extraordinary legacy estate into your vision.

Across 136 ± acres in the esteemed Happy Canyon AVA, the property already possesses an exceptional sense of place and an extraordinary breadth of resources: expansive open land, mature California Heritage Oaks and Sycamores, dramatic mountain backdrops, a private lake, substantial water resources (3 wells w/ potential of 300gpm), multiple residences, and extensive ranch infrastructure.

Part of a historic cattle ranch rich in Valley history, it has 3 distinct residences totallng over 13,000 ± square feet allowing for a generational living opportunity. At the center of it all, a 7,700 ± square-foot manor overlooks the lake, with ancient oaks and rolling lawns visible from almost every room. Its architecture has an old world aesthetic with the refined sensibility of an East Coast estate. The residence remains unfinished, leaving its final expression to its next owner. Open patio areas and a modest lap pool are thoughtfully integrated into the space. In addition, a renovated 4200 ± square foot farmhouse, including 6 bedrooms and 6 baths, sits across the lake and features sun lit rooms from walls of glass, soaring ceilings and a comfortable country vibe.

The possibilities extend across the acreage. At the forefront of the property is a level ± 20 acres that would lend itself to a regulation polo field or premium vineyard with well above average water resources to support either. The land, water, residences, and existing improvements could support an equestrian estate , working cattle ranch or a private family retreat. The final concept can be designed entirely around the way you want to live.
Additional improvements include a 1400 ± square foot manager's residence plus a 40' x 96' working barn supporting ranch operations and storage needs. A professionally designed motocross track has been created at the back of the property and provides high entertainment value for the enthusiast. Riding trails and grazing pastures are established for cattle and horses with unimpeded views of the San Rafael Wilderness. Only 12 minutes from downtown Santa Ynez, this retreat offers ultimate privacy yet easy access to all valley amenities.
