Single Family Residence In Santa Ynez

For the first time in decades, Rancho Mora presents a rare opportunity to own a currently income-producing legacy equestrian estate in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley. Set across two parcels at 2050 and 1940 Mora Avenue, this extraordinary property brings together refined country living, extensive equestrian facilities, multiple residences, and sweeping mountain scenery in a setting defined by privacy and timeless Western character.

Arrive through a private, tree-lined gated entrance and travel past lush green pastures where horses graze beneath wide-open Valley skies. Beyond the pastoral landscape, the expansive main residence welcomes you with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside and Santa Ynez Mountains. Designed for everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, the home features a generous kitchen with a grand center island, commercial refrigerator, two high-end dishwashers, butler’s pantry, and separate full pantry. A temperature-controlled wine room, spacious primary-suite closets, and whole-house indoor/outdoor surround sound enhance the experience. The four-car garage features cedar-lined cabinetry and Saltillo tile flooring.

The newly finished pool and spa are a showpiece of the estate. Relax beside sparkling water as the Santa Ynez Mountains stretch across the horizon and horses graze peacefully in the pastures below. From tranquil mornings with coffee to leisurely afternoons entertaining and evenings soaking in the spa, this stunning setting makes outdoor living an everyday luxury. The experience is inseparable from the ranch itself: open skies, green pastures, and an ever-changing mountain panorama that makes every gathering feel special.

A dedicated party barn extends the estate’s entertaining possibilities, offering an inviting gathering space for celebrations, shared meals, and unforgettable moments. The building includes a restroom, workshop, and additional tack storage; a separate hay barn supports the equestrian facilities. Authentic Western ranch style meets elevated comfort throughout, creating broad appeal for Western and English riding enthusiasts alike.

Equestrian amenities include 29 stalls across three structures: a 12-stall main barn with tack room, office, and bathroom; a 14-stall mare motel with tack and tie-up areas; and three additional stalls near the arena. Six pastures, 18 paddocks, four dry lots, a main arena with dressage footing, a Western round arena, and a round pen provide extensive space for horses and riding. Automatic water serves every horse area, and approximately eight acres at the rear are piped for pasture irrigation.

Multiple residences add flexibility for guests and ranch living. A detached three-bedroom, two-bath guest house nestled beneath mature pines includes a full kitchen and private fenced yard. Two separate ranch-hand residences each feature two bedrooms and one bath. Together, the accommodations complement the scale and possibilities of this distinctive estate, allowing family, guests, and ranch personnel to enjoy their own spaces amid the expansive grounds.

Beyond the barns and residences, discover a private tennis court, koi pond, charming saloon-style chicken coop, and a productive orchard with apple, lemon, plum, peach, cherry, grape, and fig. Property-wide irrigation and a solar system support the ranch, while automated gated entry with camera access and surveillance across key ranch areas, barns, and guest house add convenience.

Remarkably private yet close to town, Rancho Mora offers convenient access to the dining, wineries, and celebrated lifestyle of the Santa Ynez Valley. Rarely does a property unite this breadth of equestrian amenities, multiple residences, exceptional entertaining spaces, and unforgettable mountain views. A true legacy estate, Rancho Mora invites its next owner to embrace the best of California ranch living.
