A commanding hilltop estate on approximately 19.5 acres in the prestigious enclave of Rancho Ynecita with sweeping, unobstructed panoramic views across the Santa Ynez Valley and surrounding mountains has been listed for $7,999,000 by Jade Mills, Beverly Hills’ leading real estate professional and Coldwell Banker Realty’s No. 1 California agent, and Tiffany Mills, a Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialist affiliated with the Beverly Hills office of Coldwell Banker Realty. The property is also available for a monthly lease of $45,000. Located at 2975 Calle Bonita in Santa Ynez, Calif., the approximately 8,026-square-foot residence has six bedrooms, five bathrooms and one half bathroom.
“Located within the highly regarded Los Olivos Elementary School District and just minutes from the charming towns of Los Olivos and Santa Ynez, this exceptional estate combines privacy, scale, and refined country living with a lifestyle defined by walkability, serenity and enduring natural beauty,” said Tiffany Mills.
Privately gated and approached by a long, winding country road, the dramatic arrival culminates at six garage bays with individual overhead doors at driveway level, including select double-deep spaces, RV accommodation, a dedicated garage workspace with wraparound workbench and built-in storage, extensive under-house storage and elevator access from the garage to the main living level. The residence is primarily single-level in living, thoughtfully organized around a tranquil central courtyard that serves as the architectural heart of the home. Five French doors, three from the living room and two from interior hallways, open to the courtyard, allowing the soothing sound of the fountain water feature to resonate throughout the interiors. Extensively remodeled, the home seamlessly blends timeless Spanish character with contemporary refinement, showcasing beautiful hardwood floors, soaring open-beam ceilings with oversized timbers, skylights, expansive windows and walls of glass that invite abundant natural light. At the center of the home, the reimagined kitchen boasts Italian marble surfaces, an oversized waterfall island designed for entertaining, dramatic 60-inch wrapped hood and a full suite of Miele appliances. Four sets of French doors from the kitchen and living areas open directly onto a spectacular wraparound deck of approximately 1,000 square feet, finished in French limestone and offering true 360-degree-style vantage points over the vineyards and valley beyond.
The floor plan is exceptionally well considered, offering dual true primary suites positioned on opposite wings for maximum privacy. Each primary suite features a sitting area and a spa-like bath, including one with a steam shower. Every bedroom is graced with large windows and double French doors opening directly onto the wraparound deck, connecting the home to its natural surroundings. Outdoor living is equally compelling. A lap-length swimming pool anchors the lower entertaining terrace, complemented by an outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven, grill, trellis and dedicated dining area. Approximately five acres of enclosed gardens surround the home, enriched by a rare microclimate that supports an exceptional orchard with roughly 30 mature, fruit-bearing avocado trees, along with lemon, orange, tangerine, apple and Asian pear trees. Ancient oak trees and mature olive trees further define the landscape, while additional partially graded land offers flexibility for a tennis or paddle court, equestrian use or other recreational pursuits. The property includes a pool and garden work shed, as well as an additional separate work shed with running water and electricity, suitable for conversion to an office, art studio or in-law unit. A second homesite, already equipped with water and electricity, is shovel-ready.
