Only the quiet of nature surrounds this 20 acre Lavender Farm. From 8,000+ acre neighboring ranches to the Los Padres National Forest the views extend into open wildland. The VIEW encompasses the ENTIRE Santa Ynez Valley from Lompoc to Lake Cachuma, uninterrupted. Three graded and permitted building spots are serviced by a road approved by county fire department. Tucked in the valley, the aroma of Lavender penetrate the barn complete with custom living quarters that rival many ranches. The curative oil relieves headaches and protected the barn against insect infestations of any kind. A place to debrief from stress and participate with the land from an elegant second residence to a custom built home with a view that extends over the land as a personal outlook.
