Once a 600 acre dairy and cattle ranch with a state of the art equestrian training facility all that remains are the ranch houses and the training facility. It was very run down and not functional. At the age of 60 I bought this once loved ranch and I'm working to preserve the set up to share and educate how the west once was. For many years the ranch sat here and did nothing and was slowly deteriorating. No animals just empty stalls and unkept grounds it was dying. When I came a long to look at it over 6 years ago, I knew it was going to be mine and I would breathe life back into this once thriving ranch. It took 4 long years to get it and now it's been 2 years in the making and the ranch is alive again. Slowly the animals came then the rain came and it started to come alive. Come visit and bring your breathe to add to the life of this great place.
Awesome location. Wonderful host. We will be back.

Great location and view of the valley! Incredible sunrises and sunsets over the vineyards. Walked to town and back with only one steep section

We loved our stay at Angela’s huge Ranch. We parked overlooking the BEAUTIFUL country side over looking the vineyards and rolling hills of Santa Ynez. Angela and her team were amazing at getting all set up as we were first time RV’ers and knew nothing about what we were doing. Also bed being surrounded by the chickens , turkeys and cows. Our heaven. Thank you Angela! We will be back! Tricia Mcloughlin. Manhattan Beach

Private Retreat
Ballard Hill Ranch is private with great views. There are lots of farm animals that are a great bonus.

We loved waking up there and wandering around the property. The views were beautiful and the animals were fun to visit. There were even a couple of kittens:)
