1,440-Acre Rancho Dos Vistas Offers Privacy and Natural Beauty for $12.9 Million

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - April 22, 2016 - PRLog -- Rancho Dos Vistas, a 1,440-acre property adjacent to Ronald and Nancy Reagan's former vacation home, the "Western White House," in the Santa Ynez Mountains, is for sale at $12.9 million.

"This timeless ranch stretches across the Refugio skyline for approximately two breathtaking miles, and showcases some of the best views Santa Barbara has to offer," said listing agent Kerry Mormann, a REALTOR®-Broker Associate with the Montecito office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties.

"The completely remodeled 2,500-square-foot home plus guesthouse gently sit atop the oak-studded mountain, boasting magnificent views from every window, including spectacular panoramas of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Valley."

Set behind double gates off a private road (locally named Pennsylvania Avenue), the ranch features more than 40 miles of roads and tree-canopied trails that lead to many special settings, Mormann said. The property is ideal for an owner who values privacy and natural beauty. It offers the perfect balance of serenity and comfort, while maintaining easy accessibility to Santa Barbara.

The three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom contemporary ranch-style house has been completely upgraded with a chef's-style kitchen, and is offered fully furnished. Abundant water is provided by private wells and springs. Two spring-fed ponds grace the property, including one in an oak amphitheater setting. Power and telephone lines are available on the property.

Named for its views of the ocean and valley, Rancho Dos Vistas borders Rancho Del Cielo, the private, 688-acre retreat the Reagans preferred for secluded vacations. After her husband's death, Nancy Reagan sold the property to the Young America's Foundation, a conservative group that preserves it as "a living monument to Reagan's ideas, values, and lasting accomplishments." The ranch is closed to the public, but the foundation offers students and supporters the opportunity to visit the property.
