More Insights

Built in 2003 (23 years old).
Condition: Built in 2003, this property is 21 years old, placing it just outside the 10-20 year range for 'Good' but well within the spirit of the category due to its exceptional maintenance and high-quality construction. The 'Green Design' features like concrete floors with zoned radiant heat, plastered Rastra block insulated walls, and solar electric are modern and well-preserved. The main house kitchen features stainless steel appliances and appears functional and clean, though the tiled countertops, while well-maintained, might be considered slightly dated by some. Bathrooms are also clean and functional with modern fixtures. The guest house, however, appears to have been more recently updated with very modern finishes, including butcher block countertops and stylish hexagonal floor tiles. Flooring throughout the main house (concrete and hardwood) is durable and in excellent condition. While the description notes a 'lack of central cooling,' mini-split units are visible, providing effective zone cooling. Overall, the property is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, and its systems are well-maintained, justifying a 'Good' rating.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =846806, other record lot size in square feet = 878169. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
High Price Point & Niche Market: The $3.149 million asking price targets a very specific, affluent luxury market segment. Its unique rural, serene, and eco-friendly focus may not appeal to all high-end buyers, potentially leading to a longer market time.
Lack of Central Cooling System: While radiant heat is a key feature, the property description does not mention any air conditioning or central cooling system, which could be a significant concern for comfort during warmer months in Santa Ynez and may require future investment.
Rural Location & Commute Considerations: Emphasizing serenity and wilderness, the property's location, while a few minutes from Los Olivos and Santa Ynez, is inherently rural. This might be a drawback for buyers prioritizing immediate access to extensive urban amenities, services, or shorter daily commutes.
