About this property

31 Day Classic California Ranch House

A California Classic Ranch House
Nestled between two popular Santa Rita Hills Appellation Vineyards, located on the west end of the Santa Ynez Valley and boasting 100 acres of unmatched privacy and 360-degree sweeping mountain views, Rio Vista Ranch is the ultimate vacation home. Originally built in 1941 by world-renowned California artist, Channing Peake, honeymooned at by Gregory Peck in 1955, frequented by Hollywood stars including Audrey Hepburn and featured in the classic family Disney Movie (“STUB, The Best Cowdog in the West”), Rio Vista Ranch is truly a historical masterpiece.

Take a step back in time to enjoy historic California Rancho life, with large open windows throughout, overlooking the property (and beyond), this bright modern ranch-style home is gently shaded by oak, sycamore, pine and walnut trees. Relax by the pond, embark on a walk through the verdant fields, ride your bike to the local vineyards, enjoy an al-fresco dinner under the trees or take a scenic ride into town (don’t forget to stop by the local Farm Stand on your way).

With bright white walls, high-quality décor, and beautiful wood flooring throughout, this ranch was newly and intricately designed with comfort and style in mind. The gourmet chef’s kitchen vaunts brand new stainless-steel appliances with bar, kitchen and dining room seating to accommodate all of your friends and family.

Come, enjoy all that Rio Vista Ranch has to offer and don’t forget to ask us about our local recommendations for horseback-riding, bicycle rentals, wine tours and more!

Amazing property

This property provided an amazing stay for our group. Plenty of comfortable space. The setting was beautiful and we didn’t realize how easy it was for us to reach all the places we wanted to visit. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend!

Wine weekend getaway

This is the 2nd year that we have stayed in the house because we love this property. We spent more time at the house/property than the last time to have the opportunity to really enjoy all that it has to offer. We took many walks/hikes, explored new wineries and spent every night playing games and laughing at the kitchen table. We cant wait to go again next year. Lesa

Secluded but Convenient

Such a beautiful property. The house is spacious and well appointed, great architectural detail throughout and very well maintained. The space is filled with natural light, all of the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was surprisingly well stocked for a vacation rental. We had the property to ourselves, no one was renting the guest cottages which made for a very private stay. You feel like you're out in the middle of nowhere surrounded by nature (which you are) but the town of Buellton which has an Albertons, Sprouts, plenty of restaurants and gas stations is only 10 minutes away. It's super convenient to all of the local wineries and I will definitely be back here.

Anniversary Trip

What an amazing trip. We had 3 other couples join us for a weekend of wine tasting, fishing, amazing food and great walks. We also had a lot of laughs and fantastic chats. This house was the perfect setting for our fantastic weekend away. We will defiantly be coming back as we fell in love with this house and property.

A slice of good

This is our second trip to this property and we're already planing a third. There's no place quite like it. Every detail thought of. Any questions answered immediately. Only wish we were staying longer!

Fabulous Stay & Beautiful Property

Our group of 4 friends had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. As there were just 4 of us we rented the main house only but there are 2 lovely cottages on the property that can be rented separately. Very spacious (definitely room for more than 4 in main house) and private overall. Pond is gorgeous and the property overall is much nicer in person as the pics just don’t do it justice. Good location In Buellton about 15 minutes away from both Los Olivos & Solvang. Industrial Eats takeout was perfect during Pandemic time. Wine tasting at nearby Pence winery was a really great experience.

Great open spaces

We had a great time in this secluded retreat. The beds and linens were great and very comfortable. Lots of space for everyone to spread out and the bedrooms are located in a separate wing of the house which was great for the early bird kids to be in the other areas while the rest of the house slept. Small thing to keep in mind, when spending this much money, only having 1 roll of paper towels for a house that fits 8 people for 3 nights being somewhat remote we cooked quite a bit and had to makeshift with napkins and other items we brought. Would be nice to have had more supplies in the closet somewhere. Loved all the open space and the barn was a highlight for the kids where they got to scoot around to their hearts content. Great remote location with beautiful sunsets and a way to really feel away from it all. Thank you!

Beautiful and well-stocked house

We loved staying at the ranch house. It had everything we needed, in a beautiful setting. It was so tastefully decorated... no clutter, roomy and just gorgeous. The view out the living room window to the pond was bucolic.
