An Architectural Gem in Santa Ynez<br />
VILLAGE PROPERTIES REALTORS SANTA YNEZ, CA<br />
High in the hills above the Santa Ynez Valley sits the<br />
spectacular estate known as Son Sereno, an architecturally<br />
important, sophisticated contemporary residence situated on<br />
about 116 secluded acres.<br />
Inspired by the legendary country homes of Tuscany and<br />
designed by an award-winning NY/LA architectural firm,<br />
Richard Meier & Partners, Son Sereno is a stunning and yet<br />
totally livable and comfortable home. In the foothills about<br />
a half-mile up from the floor of the valley, this gracious<br />
residence is situated amid a grove of Italian olive trees and<br />
integrated with the landscape with the distinctive use of<br />
local materials. Filled with natural light, the estate provides<br />
astounding views of the surrounding hills and valley.<br />
The home has six bedrooms, including two spacious<br />
master bedrooms with dual walk-in closets and an adjacent<br />
private sitting room with a fireplace. There is also a two-room<br />
guest suite, a spacious guest bedroom with bath, and, in a<br />
connected wing of the house, two additional bedrooms with<br />
en suite baths.<br />
The chef’s kitchen opens onto a comfortable family room, while<br />
the flowing living and dining rooms provide options for more<br />
formal entertaining. In addition, there is a spacious office, a library<br />
gallery and an exercise room.<br />
You can enjoy tranquil sunsets on the large outdoor veranda<br />
looking out over the Mediterranean-inspired landscape. The solarheated<br />
pool is on a lower level with its own shaded trellis.<br />
Totally separate from the main house is a horse facility<br />
that includes an eight-stall, center-aisle equestrian barn, as well as<br />
a hay and equipment barn, a workshop, arena, track, and irrigated<br />
pastures, plus a separate employee residence.<br />
In addition, there is an adjacent approximately 102-acre parcel<br />
available for purchase. This includes its own manager’s home,<br />
numerous riding and hiking trails, and a half-acre landscaped<br />
swimming lake.<br />
