Set amidst the rolling hills and ancient oaks of the Santa Ynez Valley, Foxen Creek Ranch spans approximately 574 acres of gently undulating grasslands, oak-dotted knolls, and sweeping views of the San Rafael Mountains. Once part of an original Mexican Land Grant and now owned by the esteemed Jackson Family Wine Company, this storied property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of early California history in one of Santa Barbara County's most scenic and peaceful settings.Anchoring the ranch is a gracious, three-story, turn-of-the-century farmhouse, offering approximately 4,192 square feet of architecturally authentic living space. Rich hardwood floors, banks of French doors, and soaring ceilings frame luminous interiors, including formal living and music rooms that open to a brick patio and gazebo. A true country kitchen--complete with a Wolf range, antique wet bar, sunny breakfast room, and fireplace--makes this home ideal for entertaining or quiet mornings. The upstairs features a spacious primary suite with dramatic views, two walk-in dressing rooms, and a large ensuite bath, as well as three guest bedrooms, two-and-a-half additional baths, and a third floor artists loft. Nearby, a two-story guest housedesigned in the same classic farmhouse stylefeatures an inviting living space with a wood-burning stove, two bedrooms with balconies offering expansive views, and a full bath. Two attached two-car garages offer flexibility for additional living space or storage. The 2,459± square foot manager's residence is a traditional ranch-style home with three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, a living room with a brick fireplace, a spacious kitchen and dining area, a large office or fourth bedroom, and views of a tranquil pond.
Additional improvements include two beautifully constructed redwood barns with 30-foot gabled ceilings, horse stalls, tack rooms with half baths, and flexible space often used for entertaining and events. A stone-and-wood pump house with antique water wheel encloses the ranch's domestic water filtration system, fed by private wells and supported by approximately 50,000 gallons of storage.
