Even at today’s deeply discounted prices on ranches, ranchettes, vineyards and properties of 5 acres or more, for many Buyers, the Santa Ynez Valley real estate is out of reach. Nonetheless the desire for these kinds of properties is palpable among our visitors. The right combination of price and property may be a mere 10 miles down the road, in the corridor between the Santa Ynez Valley and the city of Lompoc.
Going west, the prices fall fairly dramatically, while, for some, the weather and soil are more appealing for vineyards and horses. In fact this corridor includes the trendy Sta. Rita AVA, a prized viticulture area for Pinot Noir and Chardonney. Guess the soil that produces $100.00 bottles of wine can’t be too bad!
On Tuesday, I posted a Pre-listing Alert on a great 6.5 acre ranchette in this area. You can look at the details, but this includes a charming home, privately sited with big views and complete horse facilities for $749,900. An equivalent property in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley would probably be listed for $1.2-1.5 million. This property is a 10 minute drive from Buellton. Please contact me for further details and an early showing on the Sotheby’s Los Olivos listing. Text or call 805.588.3616, or email [email protected]
Or, how about a 100 acre property, for $2,500,000, in the Sta Rita AVA? Check out 6587 E. Hwy 246,
This property includes a beautifully finished 3,500 sq ft Mediterranean home, with ample, prized south facing acreage for premium grapes. This property borders the great Foley and Dierburg Vineyards, for examples of the quality of wine that can be produced. But having a vineyard on this property is certainly not essential. Horses, other ag or just relishing the privacy of 100 acres are great too. For more information or a showing, text or call me at 805.588.3616, or email [email protected]
