About this property

Anavo Farm's Stylish Sheep Retreat

Experience a Pinterest-worthy guesthouse in the heart of Santa Ynez. As seen in Forbes, guests love feeding sheep, goats, alpacas, and enjoying farm-fresh eggs & a gratis bottle of wine amidst the pastures & mountain views. Located in the quaint village of Ballard, just down the street from Los Olivos, Anavo Farm offers a private setting and a well-appointed cozy cottage with many outdoor areas to enjoy like cozy chairs and fire pit. Feels off the beaten path but amazingly close to everything.

The farm is just 30 min from Refugio Beach.
