Located in Ballard, 10-acre Oakridge Farm is situated on a knoll overlooking the Santa Ynez and Figueroa Mountain ranges. The driveway winds gently up to this hilltop estate with nearly 360 degree views over the Valley. From every window one can take in the pastoral setting and the stunning hills beyond. The home itself has been remodeled and maintained with easy living and comfort in mind. Approximately 4200 sq. ft in the main residence includes 3 bedrooms plus office, 3 bathrooms, formal living and dining rooms with built-in cabinets and recessed lighting, and updated kitchen with butler’s pantry. The hub of the house is the central great room with fireplace and exposed beam ceiling that joins the guest wing and main living areas. The open floor plan with easy access to the outdoor areas is perfectly designed for entertaining, or simply relaxing with a cocktail while marveling at the views. A motor court is flanked by 2 additional buildings including an office/media room, and a barn building with workshop and 2 additional bonus rooms.

This is a must-see property in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley. Located in the Ballard School District. ... Read more
