Dominion Road Ranch, Santa Barbara County

This picturesque old cattle ranch consists of approximately 420 acres of useable level to rolling acres of native pasture. There is an annual creek running the length of the property, flowing towards the north. Hidden oak studded canyons and savannahs accentuate the primarily open and useable pasture. Located in old historic oil producing area of Santa Barbara County, the property still has one active oil well and ten idle wells. There are roads, well locations, and pipelines still existing, primarily on the northern portion of the ranch. The sellers are retaining all mineral rights to the property.

A study was conducted in 1999 to establish the vineyard development potential of the property. This study determined that there are approximately 160 acres of primary and 88 acres of secondary (sloping) area that could potentially be plantable to vineyards. This is in an area with highly acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vineyards nearby.

There are two tax parcels comprising the property. One parcel is approximately 415.24 +/- acres, with another parcel separated by Dominion Road, located on the west side of Dominion Road and consisting of about 4.16 +/- acres.
