Did you forget the flowers? Did you forget Valentines Day altogether? Well here are six romantic Santa Ynez properties that would serve as the ultimate gift for your sweetheart:

1. 549 Aebeltoft Way, Solvang, offered at $729,900. In a lovely area with much privacy, light

and dreamy views. Great view deck and warm finish work.

2. 1440 Dove Meadow, Solvang, offered at $2,495,000. This beautifully remodeled, spacious home enjoys amazing mountain views and a “lifestyle of the rich and famous” parcel complete with outdoor kitchen and entertaining area, beautiful pool & spa and ample acreage (4 total) for privacy. The home offers wonderful guest quarters, a media room, sumptuous master and great kitchen. No doubt you can have many a romantic moment on this property….your lucky guests can too.

3. Pepper Hill Farm (1 School Street) Ballard, offered at $2,895,000. This authentic French Country Farmhouse is amazingly warm and wonderful and sits on a 5 acre private parcel with many lovely gardens, a European style pool and nostalgic barns. The house has too many details to cover, but a few are screened in summer porches, a kitchen garden off the breakfast room and a master with limestone fireplace and two private porches. This property is completely unique and in a class by itself.

4. 4815 Baseline, Santa Ynez, a brand new listing, offered at $3,595,000. This nearly new, beautifully finished, spacious home sits on 20 glorious acres in the very compelling Happy Canyon area of the Valley.  This opulent property has the most beautiful views…a wonderful spot to melt into the Santa Ynez Valley beauty.

5. 2740 Ontiveros, Santa Ynez, offered at $4,395,000. This is a captivating 10 acre estate/horse property on the perimeter of Los Olivos. This custom adobe has tremendous character, warmth and a romantic aura. There are many attendant features, much of which would appeal to the horse set or car collector. This is a private lovely setting….a special spot for special people.

6. 2997 Buckboard, Solvang. This property is currently not listed, but may be available upon request (I had had it listed previously). It had been priced at $1,995,000. This designer farmhouse is one of the most romantic, wonderful homes on a one acre parcel with breathtaking vineyard panoramas. This is a one of kind. There is a harmonious blending of antique and European charm with modern home requirements. The outdoor setting is like no other, with pool, pergola, lava pit, screened porch and those amazing views. If you’re not in love, you will be.

So that’s it for my romantic Santa Ynez Valley picks. There are certainly more, but this is a very good start. So treat your sweetheart to the ultimate late Valentine….a wonderful romantic retreat in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley.
