Maria Temmel, Maurie McGuire and Scott Westlotorn, agents affiliated with Coldwell Banker Realty, have listed a ranch formerly owned by McDonald's founders Ray and Joan Kroc for $29,000,000. Located at 7355 Happy Canyon Rd., in Santa Ynez, Calif., a central feature of the property is the approximately 17,000-square-foot lodge with over 20-bedroom suites. In 1990, Gerald Kessler of Nature’s Plus Vitamins purchased the ranch.
“Known as Circle K Ranch, this private, yet convenient, ranch is just 30 minutes from Santa Barbara, and 10 minutes from the Santa Ynez Airport, and set in a prime area of Happy Canyon, known for world-class vineyards, polo, and Kentucky Derby horses.” said McGuire. “This place is a true sanctuary with the world at your fingertips.”
Designed by Glenn Marchbanks Jr., the main lodge encompasses a commercial kitchen, dining room for 100 people and a more than 3,000-square-foot grand living room. Serving both as an auditorium and theatre, the nearly 5,200-square-foot conference hall seats 62 people. Throughout the property, there are enough lodge accommodations for approximately 100 guests. The founder’s building serves as a library and includes two-bedroom suites, plus ranch offices. In 1971, a new residence was built on a knoll with 360-degree views of Santa Ynez Valley. Other structures include four single-family residences, two bunkhouses with multiple en-suite bedrooms, a complete gymnasium, barns, paddocks and numerous fenced corrals. Water is abundant with two lakes, multiple wells and cisterns capable of storing over 100,000 gallons of water. Other highlights include a helicopter pad, two tennis courts, resort-style pool, hiking trails, and barbecue-picnic facilities.
