This property is on the market for $64,500,000, listed with Riskin Partners Estate Group and Village Properties/Forbes Global Properties.

Nestled in the heart of Santa Ynez Valley’s coveted Happy Canyon, the Westerly Estate offers an unparalleled blend of luxury and natural beauty.

This 200-acre property combines expansive vineyards, equestrian facilities, and a Tuscan-inspired villa designed by Michael S. Smith, the celebrated interior designer known for his work in the Obama White House.

Arriving through grand iron gates framed by California oak trees, visitors are greeted by a scenic drive lined with olive trees and lavender.

The 20,000-square-foot villa is surrounded by lush gardens and dramatic mountain vistas.

Inside, the estate features five bedrooms, 10 wood-burning fireplaces, and a 40-foot-high central courtyard. Guest accommodations in the wings and a stable apartment bring the total bedroom count to eight.

Other highlights include a farmhouse-style kitchen, a wine cellar, and a billiards room that also serves as a library and office.

The estate’s 82 acres of vineyards produce primarily Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, with grapes sold to private labels.

Outdoor amenities include a bass-stocked lake, a swimming pool, lighted tennis courts, a pickleball court, and a barn with stables.

The current owners purchased the estate in 2006 for $24.2 million and invested $10 million in renovations, modernizing systems while enhancing the property’s charm with features like an infrared spa and additional water reservoirs for vineyard irrigation.

Although initially intended as a retirement home, the couple now seeks to downsize and spend more time near their adult children.

Located within minutes of world-class wineries and fine dining, the Westerly Estate presents a unique opportunity to own a premier property in California’s iconic wine country.
