About This Home

828 Ballard Canyon Road

Welcome to Palomino Ranch, an iconic 5-acre gated estate nestled in the prestigious Mesa Hills neighborhood of Solvang. Steeped in heritage, this remarkable property was initially established in the 1970s as a renowned breeding ground for Tennessee Walker Palomino horses, many of which proudly paraded in the legendary Rose Parade for over three decades. Meticulously reimagined for modern living, the primary residence offers four spacious bedrooms and four luxurious bathrooms, including two primary suites designed for ultimate comfort and privacy. Step inside to soaring open truss ceilings and an expansive living room and gourmet kitchen--an ideal setting for entertaining family and friends in style. For the equestrian enthusiast, the estate features a six-stall barn complete with living quarters, perfect for staff or guests. A detached, separate guest house ensures additional privacy for friends. The grounds are a true sanctuary, boasting a professionally designed riding arena, a sparkling pool, an outdoor barbecue area, a tranquil pond, multiple pens and pastures, a three-car garage, and a fruit orchard set amidst five flat, usable acres. Experience the perfect blend of peace and privacy, with the convenience of being just minutes from the vibrant heart of the Santa Ynez Valley. The Palomino Ranch presents a rare opportunity to own a piece of California history, thoughtfully updated for today's discerning buyer, offering timeless elegance, exceptional amenities, and an unparalleled lifestyle.
