This magnificent Mediterranean-style 4-bedroom, 4.5 -bath estate is situated on just over six acres in the gated neighborhood of Fredensborg Estates. The 4000 +/- square-foot home is approached via beautifully maintained custom landscaping, through a rose arbor, and past a gorgeous three-tiered fountain into a shady formal courtyard. Through the front doors you find a broad entry and, in a few steps, you arrive in the firelit living room with cathedral ceiling and a sparkling Palladian window showcasing the manicured backyard and stunning mountain views. From here you enter the open formal dining room through a lovely arched doorway, one of two leading into this space. The dining room, with a wall of windows, holds an amazing 300-bottle wine cellar with glass doors, climate control and custom racking. The dining room will lead you into the sunlit kitchen: a chef's delight with its large center island, stainless Viking Range, marble countertops, and display cabinets. The kitchen is open to a dining nook with a bench seat and to a spectacular family room with cathedral ceiling, floor-to-ceiling hearth, and French doors on either side leading to the front garden area and back yard kitchen and pool. Three bedrooms, two on-suite and the other two which share a jack-and-jill bath, are also found on this level. A staircase and large landing lead you to the private oasis that is the primary suite. The spacious primary bedroom is given additional visual space from the cathedral ceiling and French doors to balconies on both ends of the room. The mountain views from here are spectacular. The walk-in closet is very spacious, and the master bath is a dream with marble-countered double vanities complete with a plethora of storage, enormous shower, and a free-standing tub. Heading back downstairs, this level is completed with a laundry room and three-bay garage with a bath that may also be accessed from the backyard. The backyard harbors a gorgeous entertainment patio with a custom barbeque, swimming pool with cover, and a jacuzzi all framed by manicured lawn and beautiful mature trees. It is a beautiful, private retreat. This home has the bonus of a generator that can power the whole house. Front and back gates from the community lead to either Solvang or Los Olivos without the use of Hwy 246. Your family will enjoy all the comforts of this home and its location in the beautiful Santa Ynez Valley where 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.
