A historic ranch property nestled in the Santa Ynez Mountains above miles of undisturbed California coastline was recently listed for $12 million.
The Goleta property, known as Rancho Dos Vistas , meaning “Ranch of Two Views,” includes a main residence that dates to the 1960s and a brand-new rugged wooden barn. The ranch got its name because of its two dreamy viewpoints: on one side, you have panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, while on the other, you have sweeping views over the Santa Ynez Mountains .
The property spans an incredible 1,446 acres and is next door to the late President Ronald Reagan ’s former ranch, which was often referred to as the Western White House. (The ranches actually share a road.) The Reagans hosted plenty of high-profile figures over the years, including the Queen of England.
From the moment you drive onto the property, you are enveloped in a natural landscape of old oak trees and native plants. It’s like living in your very own national park. And if you don’t feel like driving, there’s a helicopter landing area.
