About this home

Rare and fortunate opportunity to purchase one of the most historic homes in the Santa Ynez Valley. Perched high in a grove of 100-year-old Redwoods, ''Palacio del Rio'', formerly the Hacienda for the renowned Juan y Lolita Rancho, is set on approximately 36.6+/- acres and is steeped in Valley history.
