Property Description
A rural retreat with exceptional potential awaits. Thoughtfully positioned on an 0.77 expansive, tree-filled parcel with mature landscaping, the property offers a sense of privacy and calm while welcoming you into a comfortable approximately 1,621 sq ft home with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Upon entry, the spacious living room is filled with natural light and framed by tranquil landscape views, with a fireplace serving as a warm and inviting focal point. Hardwood floors flow seamlessly throughout the home, connecting the living room to the dining area and a combined family room featuring a second fireplace and direct access to a charming brick patio—an ideal setting for outdoor dining or quiet relaxation. With its privacy and peaceful views, this patio may well become the heart of the home. The kitchen retains the charm of original cabinetry and offers the opportunity for thoughtful updating, with pleasant views of the surrounding landscape and barn. While comfortable for immediate enjoyment, the residence also presents an excellent opportunity for expansion or customization for those wishing to enhance the space. The land itself is a defining feature—usable, gently contoured, and well suited for a variety of lifestyle pursuits including gardening or equestrian use (buyer to verify). Positioned toward the rear of the property is a well-situated barn with an adjacent corral and fenced turnout, offering flexibility for a horse or small livestock, along with space for boutique agricultural projects. In addition to the two-car garage, the property provides generous room for recreational vehicles, additional parking, or hobbies that benefit from extra space and planning. The location strikes an ideal balance between country living and everyday convenience, just minutes from Santa Ynez Valley High School, the YMCA, the town of Santa Ynez, local farm stands, wineries, restaurants, and community amenities—while preserving the peace and privacy of true rural living. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, weekend escape, or legacy property, 1264 Refugio Road represents a compelling opportunity to amazing land, location, and lifestyle in one of the Santa Ynez Valley’s most enduring settings.
