La Villa Del Sol

Experience the splendid ease of gracious living. Cresting the premier estates enclave of Regency Hills, La Villa del Sol is a wine-country estate with spectacular views of the celebrated Santa Ynez Valley. From the enchanting viewing tower in the main house there are breathtaking views encompassing the town of Solvang, through the wine country vineyards to Grass Mountain, the Santa Ynez River and the Cachuma Dam. From the expansive main house with its sculpted circular stairway, to the charmingly romantic guesthouse tucked away beyond an arched gate, this estate embodies sumptuous living at its best.

Positioned prominently upon 6.65+/- acres, in the coveted Ballard School District, enjoy the expansive lifestyle in this architecturally designed estate home by noted Montecito architect, Don Pedersen, AIA. This five bedroom, seven bathroom home offers a classic formal library, a three-bedroom guest wing, a lavish master suite, separate maid’s quarters and a caterer’s kitchen. The fine finishes, the custom cabinets and the luxuries of marble and tile add to the splendid ambience throughout, along with the copper gutters and clay tile roofs.

The quality of this home continues with a landscape designed by Puck Erickson of Arcadia Studios. Additionally, the grounds of this property have received a “Certified Wildlife Habitat,” award by the National Wildlife Federation and as well as a “Best Residential Beautification Award” in the year 2000. So, as you stroll through the acre and a half of magical landscaped gardens, or meander along the flagstone walkways, indulge yourself in the exceptional variety of landscaped vignettes, including both flower and herb gardens, a formal hedge garden, a small orchard, a mini-vineyard and a raised-bed vegetable garden, all encircled by richly finished plaster walls and handsome wrought iron.
