Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1982, the home has been 'refreshed' with newer flooring and paint, but the kitchen and bathrooms remain dated. The bathrooms feature 1990s-era green tile and gold fixtures, and the kitchen cabinetry is older than the 15-year threshold for a 'Good' rating. While functional and move-in ready, the primary systems and wet areas are over 20 years old and need modernization.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 871636, living area = 3272.
The property features 20 acres of private land in the Santa Ynez Valley, offering unparalleled privacy, serenity, and significant space for potential agricultural or equestrian pursuits.
An attached yet private guest suite provides flexible living arrangements, making it ideal for multi-generational families, high-end guest accommodations, or a dedicated home office.
