Santa Ynez

"Sagecrest Estate"

OVERVIEW:

Santa Ynez Valley is a rural upscale community just a short drive from Santa Barbara, California, composed of world class vineyards, horse farms, cattle ranches and ranchettes.  It is the second largest wine growing region in California.  Local residents include many entertainment notables and senior executives who are members of all types of industry and commerce.  The area abounds with fabulous cycling roads, hiking trails, restaurants and a quality lifestyle rarely found today.

ESTATE HOME:
Up a private, gated drive, this architecturally superb Spanish style estate sits atop 22 serene acres surrounded by mature landscaping designed by noted landscape architect, Isabelle Greene.  In architectural design and craftsmanship, the home resembles the style of Wallace Neff, a prominent architect in California during the 1930’s, though the main house was built in the early 1980’s.

The 6,121± square foot sprawling 7 bedroom, 6 bath residence offers 270 degree views overlooking the breathtaking Santa Ynez Valley to the south and the oak studded mountains to the north.

The home has a luxurious, yet extremely warm and comfortable feeling with exceptional attention to detail. The quality of construction and design are immediately evident upon entry.  Soaring vaulted ceilings, Saltillo tile floors, warm wood accents, and custom wrought iron lighting are prominent throughout the home. Six custom tiled bathrooms and a gorgeous kitchen, 6 fireplaces, and hand stenciled and textured walls throughout further enforce the designer’s aesthetic.
 
The rambling home wraps around a central courtyard featuring an oasis like swimming pool and spa, outdoor fireplace, lounging areas, under-cover dining area, and an outdoor kitchen complete with a BBQ, 2 burner stove, prep areas, refrigerator, and a pizza oven. There is approximately 8,000 square feet under roof, which includes large south facing loggias surrounding the pool area.

Gated, private, serene and surrounded by lovely landscape, 
this estate exemplifies the Santa Ynez lifestyle that is so desired.
