El Rancho Tajiguas, the approximately 3,500-acre Goleta property of Mansour Akram Ojjeh, a French Saudi Arabia-born entrepreneur and part owner of TAG whose largest asset is the McLaren Formula One team, has been listed by Randy Solakian and Deanna Solakian Williams, Coldwell Banker Global Luxury Property Specialists affiliated with the Montecito Upper Village office of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, and Compass for $110,000,000.

Sewall & Associates with interior finishes designed by Mark Weaver & Associates and built by Kitchell.
“With its two ocean-facing hilltop estates surrounded by extensively cultivated agricultural land, hundreds of acres of orchards, an active cattle range and vast areas of open space, El Rancho Tajiguas is the perfect marriage of utmost luxury and natural beauty and has historical traces back to the of King of Spain, Carlos III,” said Solakian. “The sheer awe-inspiring scale of this land is surprising in such close proximity to the cultural centers of Santa Barbara and Montecito.”
On largely undeveloped land showcasing unobstructed ocean views, there are two large estates with separate pools and spas. One estate encompasses a living room with a fireplace, laundry room with an island and three washers and dryers, family room with a bar, wine room, theater, game room, formal dining room, large garage with a bar and master bedroom with a fireplace, walk-in closet and bathroom with a soaking tub.
