Santa Ynez Valley

Thirty minutes north of Santa Barbara tucked between the Santa Ynez and Los Padres mountains.

Welcome to Santa Ynez Valley

Thirty minutes north of Santa Barbara tucked between the Santa Ynez and Los Padres mountains, lie six small towns and open, verdant spaces which make up the Santa Ynez Valley. This temperate region is best known for its world-class vineyards and sprawling ranches.

In the midst of this relaxed, country atmosphere there is much to offer including many outdoor activities for the active person. Biking, hiking, golfing, and horseback riding along the open range are all easily enjoyed year-round, as are fishing and boating at nearby Lake Cachuma.

A variety of property choices exist in the Santa Ynez Valley – from the modest homes in the Sideways town of Los Olivos to multimillion-dollar ranch estates just outside it. A small airport is also available for access in and out of the valley.
