Magical Ranch and World Class Equestrian Training Facility, built by Gene Suiter, father to Joe Suiter - championship horse cutter, just minutes away from California’s prize-winning vineyards in bucolic Los Olivos.
Located in Northern Santa Barbara County, Los Olivos is a town set in the rolling wine country of the Santa Ynez Valley, just 35 miles from Santa Barbara, 125 miles from Los Angeles and 300 miles from San Francisco with convenient access from Highway 154 or Ballard Canyon Road. Convenient to all the Santa Ynez Valley restaurants, retail shopping, wine tasting rooms, and minutes from the highly anticipated Auberge Resorts The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern – the beloved goldrush era stagecoach stop landmark dating back to 1886 about to open as the Definitive Luxury Destination one can view from the ranch.
“The Ballard Hill Ranch” includes one home situated on one end of the 19 acres. The 3029 Ballard Canyon Road residence was remodeled in 2015 - a two bedroom with two bathrooms plus laundry room. The home offers breathtaking valley views and peaceful environments. The 3047 site is available for a new residence.
Potential additional residence site with 360 degree views sits majestically overlooking the entire valley with available water and septic.
Equestrian Facilities lie in the vast space. The lower barn features 19 stalls with turn outs and set up for auto waterers plus a grooming station; adjacent is the hay storage barn.
The upper barn, attached to the 20,000 square foot indoor riding arena, is comprised of 24 stalls, two large tack rooms, grooming and wash rack, two bathrooms and laundry room. Above the upper barn is significant space for further storage or other use.
The Riding Arena features two hot walkers and sand footing. Many celebrated equestrian events and parties have taken place in this vast arena.
Additional offerings: 13 irrigated pastures, public water and private well – on the Santa Ynez Aqueduct, sizable flat area of land encompassing potentially four 16 foot round tent yurts.
