For the first time on the market in decades, Rancho Mora presents a rare opportunity to own a legacy equestrian estate spanning approximately 57.08 acres across two parcels in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley. Currently income-producing, this remarkable property brings together multiple residences, extensive equestrian amenities, three private wells, solar power and refined country living in a tranquil, private setting close to town.
Drive through the private, tree-lined gated entrance and follow the road past lush green pastures where horses graze beneath open skies. Beyond the pastures, 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 grand center island, commercial refrigerator, two high-end dishwashers, butler's pantry, full pantry and dedicated temperature-controlled wine room. Expansive primary-suite closets and indoor/outdoor surround sound enhance the living experience, while a four-car garage features cedar-lined cabinetry and Saltillo tile.
The newly finished pool and spa offer one of Rancho Mora's most captivating settings, overlooking lush pastures where horses graze beneath the sweeping backdrop of the Santa Ynez Mountains. With open skies, mountain views and the quiet rhythm of ranch life all around, this private outdoor retreat brings the luxury of estate living into harmony with the pastoral beauty of the Santa Ynez Valley.
Blending authentic Western ranch character with refined luxury living, Rancho Mora offers a distinctive equestrian lifestyle with appeal for both Western and English riding enthusiasts from around the world.
Equestrian facilities include 29 stalls across three facilities: 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, multiple arenas with newer footing and a round pen provide an extensive setting for equestrian pursuits. Automatic water serves every horse area, and approximately eight acres at the rear are piped for irrigated cow pasture.
Abundant water is supplied by three private wells. 2050 Mora Avenue has an agricultural well tested at 340 GPM and a domestic well tested at 44 GPM, which fills a 10,000-gallon storage tank with a booster pump and pressure system. 1940 Mora Avenue has a second agricultural well tested at 300 GPM. Flow rates are per 30-minute well tests.
A dedicated party barn offers a welcoming gathering space, complemented by a restroom, ranch shop and additional tack room. A separate hay barn adds practical storage.
Multiple residences offer flexibility for extended family, guests and ranch staff. Two separate ranch-hand residences each feature two bedrooms and one bath. A detached three-bedroom, two-bath guest house beneath mature pines includes a full kitchen, fenced yard and access to ranch pathways and the private tennis court.
A koi pond, saloon-style chicken coop and productive orchard with apples, lemons, plums, peaches, cherries, grapes and figs enrich the grounds. Solar power, extensive irrigation, a camera-access gated entry and surveillance coverage of the main ranch areas, barns and guest house complement the estate's amenities.
Peaceful and private yet close to town, dining and wineries, Rancho Mora captures the Santa Ynez Valley lifestyle on an extraordinary scale. Here, mornings begin with horses in the pastures, afternoons invite time beside the pool, and evenings unfold beneath the open Valley sky. With mountain views, multiple homes and exceptional spaces to ride, relax and gather, this rare offering invites its next owner to carry forward a remarkable equestrian legacy.
