Owned and loved by one family in its lifetime, ''Mom's Little Ranch'' is on the market for the very first time since it was built in 1962. Anchored on 1.42 usable acres of land with native landscaping under the canopy of ancient shade trees in a coveted location along the Santa Ynez Baseline corridor with views of both the Figueroa and Coastal Mountains, this property enjoys proximity to working horse ranches, hobby farms and spectacular estates. Modified over the years but retaining its 1960's ranch vibe, the structure includes a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom main home plus an ADU with 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, living room/kitchen combination that is attached via a quaint den with woodstove, built-in window seat and shared laundry. A detached 2-car garage lies adjacent to the home. Interior features include an oversized living room with knotty pine paneled walls and brick fireplace, brightly tiled bathrooms, and light filled rooms. Outside, the land offers opportunity to enjoy your horse, chickens, or 4H projects here, gardening and entertaining: the owners even hosted a wedding in the backyard. Much of the original cosmetic elements of this special home remain - authentic to its 1960's ranch origins - offering a keen buyer the chance to roll up their sleeves and transform the space into a showplace of your very own. Located 2 miles from the heart of Santa Ynez town: boutique shopping, farm-to-table dining, wine tasting, spas, Santa Ynez airport, Chumash casino and cultural museum, and museum, and access to horseback riding, hiking, ziplining, hot air ballooning, exploring the Santa Ynez River, or boating on lake Cachuma. This home offers a little slice of the ranch life for the buyer ready to roll up their sleeves and make this home their own. Ranch life is beckoning. Will you answer the call?
