The Dos Pueblos Ranch offers so much more that can be described on this website. The pictures, maps and slideshows available on the left of this screen give a good idea of the vast features, both natural and man-made, that one can experience on this majestic piece of California. However, one can only truly experience Rancho Dos Pueblos by visiting it personally. Those with the resources and the vision to write the next chapter in the history of the Royal Rancho are invited to entertain this "priceless" offering, more akin to rare art than typical real estate.
CASA GRANDE: Located at the north end of a quarter mile long turf mall, stretching towards the sea, stands the main house of the estate, a stately mansion The Casa Grande. The mall is lined with fifty foot high Moreton Bay Fig trees. This Mediterranean style two story home with spanish tile roof was built around 1920.
One of the unique features of this residence are the five bedrooms upstairs, each with a private bath and a scenic view of the surrounding countryside. The lower story lends itself to entertaining and the peaceful country lifestyle. Complete with a large dining room adjacent to the kitchen and pantry, wood paneled living room with a classic wooden bar and fireplace, billiard room, card room, and sitting room. There is even an elevator to access the upper bedrooms.
OCEANFRONT: This beautiful coastline would have to be considered an asset of immeasurable significance in this day when truly private ocean and beach frontage in California has almost become a thing of the past. From the beach the broad expanse of Pacific offers views of passing ships, soaring gulls, frolicking dolphin and, on occasion, the spouts of migrating whales. To the west the spectacular coastline with gentle surf curves out to Point Conception in the distance. Twenty miles offshore the Channel Islands stand out on the horizon under clear blue skies.
CLIMATE: Dos Pueblos enjoys a superb climate, said to be one of the most temperate and equitable in the United States, with a seasonal spread averaging only 13 degrees. Protected on the north from desert heat by the Santa Ynez Mountains, the average daytime temperature is only 78 degrees, dropping to an average of 65 degrees in winter. Annual rainfall in the vicinity is 18 inches.
Hiking, camping, and abundant wildlife are to be found in the wilderness area of the Los Padres National Forest, while fresh water recreation can be enjoyed at nearby Lake Cachuma. The quaint Danish settlement of Solvang is only a 20 minute drive from the property. Rancho Dos Pueblos is well situated in relationship to the major metropolitan population centers within the Southern California area.
