About this property

Magical Equestrian Ranch in Santa Barbara Wine Country. Visit Lone Sheep Ranch.

Magical equestrian private ranch in the heart of Santa Ynez wine country offering romantic getaways, family animal ranch experiences for all ages, or wine getaway weekends. The 10 acre Lone Sheep Ranch includes a lovely newly remodeled 3BDR/2.5BR home on a formerly famous equestrian estate with views of horses and farm animals in all directions. The ranch is 1 mile from downtown Santa Ynez and just a few minutes from Downtown Solvang.

Kids can learn to gather eggs from our chickens, visit with pet pigs, and learn appreciation for ranch life. Adults can enjoy a private jacuzzi, a glass of wine in one of the many outdoor sitting areas, or sit around the fire and enjoy the stars in the quiet surroundings. The ranch is walking distance from many fine restaurants and perfect biking distance from dozens of famous valley wineries. This flat valley surrounded by mountains is a biking and hiking paradise.

For pilots, we are 1 mile from Santa Ynez Airport (KIZA), and free shuttle and courtesy car may be available with prior arrangement.

Activities range from the simply enjoying the quiet country life with a glass of wine to possible animal interactions or adrenaline full adventures with seasonal glider rides, hot air balloon rides, mountain biking , and all levels of hiking and nature walks. The beach is 38 minutes away and offers all types of ocean/ water activities.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the property and the inherent risks of exposure to ranch animals liability waivers are REQUIRED for all stays. 12% County Tax already included in price. No extra fee.

Magical Animal Experience
Wow! Is pretty much all of our reactions. The Lone Sheep Ranch is everything it promises and so much more. The owners are lovely and their animals are beyond charming. The ranch is immaculate and the house we stayed in was all redone beautifully. They even stocked the fridge with fresh eggs and morning essentials. Some of the animals roam free and there is something beautiful to see out of every window. There was even a rainbow across the pasture. This is our new favorite place for sure!!!

Susan and her staff were the absolute best. They were so accommodating, accessible, and flexible. We had a great stay and an amazing wedding at the property. And of course all the animals were perfect, especially Charles the pig!

Magical weekend getaway
We loved our stay here. The hosts were so friendly, welcoming and accommodating. They spent time talking to us about the ranch and letting us pet all the animals. Also, the ranch is so close to both Santa Ynez and Los Olivos town. recommend to anyone looking to spend some time wine tasting or to families looking to have an animal farm experience.

Enchanting visit at a fantastic location. Accomodations were perfect - spotless and comfortable. Surrounded by animals - sheep, pigs, cats, and dogs. Visiting with the horses was a wonderful plus in a beautiful ranch surrounding. The owner was just marvelous when we arrived an always available for us. We cant wait for our next visit.
