Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse, on 150 private acres in Santa Ynez

Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse is a unique and private retreat where Appalachia meets the
wilderness of Southern California. Located 3 hours north of Los Angeles in the low
mountains above the famous Santa Ynez Valley wine country, the Farmhouse and
surrounding 150 acres of recreation are now available to reserve for your special events,
overnight lodging and vacation rentals.
The authentic main house is actually three combined structures shipped to California from
different parts of Appalachia. It is over 200 years old with soaring ceilings, majestic
fireplaces, chandelier lighting, period furnishings and panoramic view windows. The
Farmhouse rests in a secluded mountain bowl of rolling hills and flat meadows, with an
endless sunset vista to the west.

Excursions

Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse is located in one of the most scenic and geographically
diverse regions of the country. A short drive will take you up to the high mountains of the
Los Padres Forest, or down to the Santa Ynez valley, or less than an hour away is the
seaside resort town of Santa Barbara.

The Santa Ynez valley 20 minutes away is the center of a world-renowned wine-growing
and tasting industry. Recently made famous by the movie “Sideways”, you can spend a day
picknicking and touring wineries, in-town tasting rooms and picturesque vineyards. The
towns of Solvang and Los Olivos also offer boutique shopping, restaurants and hospitality.
Solvang was settled by Danes and the entire downtown is in the architectural style of an
old Danish village. The valley has 2 major golf courses open to the public.

If you wish to do a day hike or even an overnight camp-out, the Los Padres forest 10
minutes away offers hundreds of miles of trails and well-maintained campsites. Here is
where you will find the much-photographed wildflowers in the Spring. If you like to fish,
Cachuma Lake is a half-hour drive; campsites are available at the lake subject to
reservation.

There are nearby ranches that offer horse-back riding. Or you are welcome to bring your
own horses and support facilities and ride throughout the thousands of acres of preserved
wilderness adjacent to the Farmhouse property. If you prefer bicycling, the country and
mountain roads make for a pretty ride. The region is used by top cycling teams for their
training, so you can find a challenging ride too.

For a full-day excursion, or a night on the town as a change from Farmhouse life, make
the drive to Santa Barbara – known as “America’s Riviera” for its seaside beauty, Spanish
architecture, palm trees and mountain backdrop. Here you can enjoy white beaches, ocean
sports and activities, museums, theaters and over 100 restaurants and night spots in the
downtown core alone.

Prices vary depending on the following:

- overnight
- daytime only
