About this House

What's unique:Community owned tennis court
Brierwood Ranch is a small, exclusive community of about a dozen large ranch estates, each on at least an acre with walking trails through the wooded Oaks and rolling grassy meadows. The development is security gated, and provides a community owned tennis court.
The 5,020 sq ft home also has the convenience of a private second-level guest house, and fabulous manicured gardens (emerald green with turf, no lawn to mow or to water) or choose to enjoy the open spaces with small barn & fenced areas for planting your own farm-to-table vegetable garden.
Several covered patio/porches offer numerous entertaining or dining spaces.
Offered for lease for the first time, with availability by end of July, 2026. Owners are in process of scaling down from this 5,020 sq ft rural country estate into a more urban, view filled Mission Oaks home.

Brierwood Estates is located midway between Solvang and Santa Ynez, with easy access to markets, banks, schools, YMCA and medical facilities nearby. The Santa Ynez Airport is minutes away for easy private aircraft commuting.
The Santa Ynez Valley offers several highly sought-after private schools, but the development is already designated for Ballard School District, one of the most loved public schools in the area.
