Set on approximately 5.14 picturesque acres in the heart of Santa Ynez, 1665 N. Refugio Road presents a thoughtfully envisioned estate in the midst of an extensive, designer-led transformation. With a comprehensive design plan already established and renovation underway, the property offers a unique canvas for creating a bespoke Valley retreat, with the freedom to personalize the final finishes and details.
The approximately 5,677-square-foot main residence is undergoing a comprehensive renovation, with interior demolition completed and framing, plumbing, and electrical systems exposed, providing a flexible foundation for the next phase of construction. A fully developed design vision by Robb Kempken of B2 Home Design reimagines the residence with a sophisticated California aesthetic, blending warm natural materials, clean architectural lines, and an effortless connection to the surrounding landscape.
The proposed interiors feature an expansive kitchen with a generous center island, a dedicated wine bar, light-filled living and dining spaces, and striking steel-framed glass partitions. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes three bedrooms and two offices, with an alternative design option to convert one of the offices into a fourth bedroom. Proposed custom cabinetry, beautifully appointed bathrooms, and carefully considered architectural details bring warmth and refinement to the overall vision.
With architectural plans, interior design renderings, finish specifications, and construction documentation available, the next owner can build upon the work already completed while selecting the materials and finishing touches that will make the home uniquely their own. An established design and construction team offers the potential for continuity as the project moves toward completion.
Beyond the main residence, the oak-studded grounds capture the essence of Santa Ynez Valley living. A gated entrance and winding drive introduce the property, where a swimming pool, expansive outdoor entertaining areas, pastoral acreage, and existing equestrian amenities provide a beautiful setting for relaxed country living. A separately situated guest house, also awaiting renovation, has its own thoughtfully developed design plan, allowing for a cohesive retreat for family and guests. With its idyllic setting, established design vision, and the flexibility to tailor the final details, 1665 N. Refugio Road is poised to become a distinctive Santa Ynez estate, thoughtfully shaped by its next owner.
