About 710 Ballard Canyon Rd
Located on scenic Ballard Canyon Road in Solvang, this delightful wine country studio cottage is nestled on a flat, usable 0.52-acre parcel. Surrounded by mature landscaping, including majestic oak trees, it affords privacy, and a relaxing country feel. Originally rebuilt in 2006, and fully remodeled in 2019, this charming home is perfect as is, or a blank canvas with endless potential. The open plan adds a spacious feel to this captivating, light-filled bungalow. The kitchen packs a mighty punch within its footprint with stone countertops, soothing gray cabinets, and new stainless and black appliances. The easy-care wood-style laminate floors add warmth throughout the space. The bath has a shower/tub combination and a lovely vanity with plenty of storage. Located just to the side of the studio is a separate laundry and storage area. The front of the home faces an expansive patio, complete with fountain, and shaded by a beautiful oak tree. Perfect for entertaining, this space includes a firepit for evening gatherings, ambient lighting, and a view overlooking the generous lawn and garden. A walk down the lighted stone pathway to the back of the property leads to two storage buildings, including a delightful finished and insulated storage barn. The property also features RV parking with dedicated 30-amp electrical hookups. Sheltered under a new roof, this home offers a mini-split A/C and heating system, a whole-house water filter, soft water, and a reverse osmosis system. A spectacular perk is free water for life from a newer county-owned and maintained well. Settled among larger agricultural parcels and a mix of modest to upscale homes, this parcel is perfect for horses or hobby animals, or a turn-key vacation or second home. It is your opportunity to enjoy the richness of ranch-style living, while living just minutes from town. With its prime location and flexible land use, the potential here is only limited by your imagination. As part of the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley, the charming Danish community of Solvang neighbors Buellton, one of the smallest cities on the Central Coast, old west style Santa Ynez, and Ballard, the smallest and oldest of the communities that comprise the Santa Ynez Valley. Here the tranquil rolling hills counterpoint the area's many attractions, which include local annual festivals, a wonderful open-air theater, fabulous restaurants, a multitude of wineries and shops, and golf. You'll enjoy small-town life with access to Los Angeles just a short two hours away.
