Spanish Hacienda Retreat in the Santa Ynez Valley. With commanding views, timeless design, and extraordinary craftsmanship, this 4,702± sq. ft. Spanish Hacienda rests gracefully on two legal parcels (5.03± acres + 5.18± acres) totaling 10.21± acres in the heart of Wine Country. Just moments from the storybook towns of Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, and Solvang, the estate is embraced by enchanting gardens, the shade of majestic valley oaks, and a serenity that feels worlds away. Designed by architect Donald Pedersen and brought to life by Andy Mixer in 1985, the Hacienda feels both powerful and romantic—an ode to old-world Mexico, entwined with the natural beauty of the Santa Ynez Valley. Grand carved wood doors, wrought iron imported from Mexico, and hand-laid Saltillo tile floors set a .. soulful tone, welcoming you into a home that unfolds with warmth and grace. At its heart, the vaulted Great Room glows with wood-beamed ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, while the custom mahogany kitchen and bar create an intimate gathering place. From here, views stretch endlessly across the mountains, changing with the light and seasons, always breathtaking. Every detail whispers of romance: a wine room lined with handcrafted racks, a library bathed in sunlight with a window seat for daydreaming, even a 75-gallon tropical aquarium bringing a touch of life and wonder. Rising above, the tower room offers a sanctuary in the sky, with mesmerizing views over red-tiled rooftops and the valley beyond. The primary suite is its own haven, complete with vaulted ceilings, a private sitting room with fireplace, and a spa-like bath that feels like an escape. Three additional en-suite bedrooms and a flexible multipurpose room-with its own entrance, storage, and pool bath-invite endless possibilities for art, wellness, or creativity. Outdoors, the magic deepens. A newly renovated pool and hot tub shimmer under open skies, while a rose-draped pergola invites lingering afternoons. Expansive covered patios, accented with Saltillo tile and a tiered fountain, echo with the sound of laughter and evening gatherings. From the tower terrace, 360-degree vistas capture the San Rafael and Santa Ynez Mountains in all their splendor. The land itself feels like a love letter to the valley: a ¾ acre vineyard of Tempranillo grapes, an orchard of 17 fruit and nut trees, and 16 ancient olive trees, all nourished by a private well. Gated and private, with motor court parking and thoughtful updates, this estate is more than a home-it is a sanctuary of beauty and soul, a rare chance to hold a piece of Santa Ynez Valley magic.
