In coveted seclusion - Palacio del Rio is an iconic estate situated in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains overlooking the breathtaking Santa Ynez River Valley. Formerly the hacienda for the renowned Juan y Lolita Ranch, encompasses approximately 36.54 acres, surrounded by oaks and redwoods, and abounding with quail, deer, wild turkeys, bobcats, and other wildlife. This is a place of amazing tranquility. “Palacio”, known as ‘The Jewel of the Valley’ with its views, rich history, all its privacy and sense of seclusion, is located only three miles from the town of Santa Ynez, four miles from the Santa Ynez Airport, six miles from Solvang, 35 miles from Santa Barbara, and only 2 hours from Los Angeles. The late John S. Mitchell, founder of United Airlines, and his wife Lolita Armour of the Armour & Company meatpacking company had the house built as a wedding gift from Lolita’s parents.
