Have you ever dreamed about living on an acreage? What about on 116 acres surrounded by California mountains? Sounds pretty good, right? I was looking at some houses online and I found this one that I immediately wanted to share with all of you.
Santa Ynez is very close to Santa Barbara and only two hours from Los Angeles, which I think is a perfect place to live if you want to be close to L.A. yet worlds away from all the traffic, pollution and all the chaos of a big town. This is pretty much like paradise for those that are looking for quietness.
The current owners commissioned Michael Palladino, senior partner and design architect in Richard Meier’s Los Angeles office, to create a contemporary home in keeping with the materials, colors and context of the natural landscape. The result is a sophisticated house grounded in the western architectural vernacular that exemplifies modernist principles of form following function. It achieves the ideal of architecture that is comfortable to live in and architecture as art. The two-year building process required unusual precision and workmanship from both contractor and crew.
This house has 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, formal living, dining and family rooms, a private sitting room, office and even an exercise room, all come with amazing views. What impressed me the most about this house was the custom designed curved ceiling in the living, dining and family rooms. It’s shaped like a wave and measures 14 feet at its highest point ending in clear story windows.
Take a look and let me know if you like this one.

I hope you had fun and enjoyed seeing this place. I surely enjoyed preparing this post for you, although my kids were running around the house and wouldn’t stop tickling each other! 🙂
