Set within the highly regarded Rancho Ynecita community, this exceptional 20‑acre parcel offers a rare blend of natural beauty, privacy and long‑term potential. Gently rolling grasslands unfold toward panoramic vistas of the Los Padres range and the dramatic Coastal Mountain range, creating a setting of remarkable serenity and scale. Ideally positioned between Los Olivos and Santa Ynez, the property enjoys close proximity to the Valley's renowned wineries, dining and amenities while benefiting from the security and stewardship of a respected homeowners association. Rancho Ynecita provides gated access, private association roads and a reliable shared water system--an invaluable foundation for future development. With multiple areas suitable for building, the land presents an outstanding opportunity to create a grand residential compound tailored to your vision. A small barn structure adds utility and charm, while the gentle topography invites thoughtful design, equestrian use or agricultural pursuits. Opportunities of this caliber are increasingly scarce. This is a truly special offering--twenty acres of usable, view‑rich land in one of the Santa Ynez Valley's most desirable rural enclaves.
