The Duck Club: A Private 26-Acre Escape in the Heart of Santa Ynez

Just beyond the vineyards of Brave & Maiden and Sunstone, a modern estate redefines what it means to get away from it all. Set on 26 private acres in the Santa Ynez Valley, The Duck Club is a fully sustainable compound where design, nature, and lifestyle come together in a way that’s both intentional and unforgettable.

At the center of the property is a 6,500-square-foot custom-built home with clean modern lines and expansive walls of glass that blur the boundary between indoors and out. Designed for effortless living and entertaining, the main residence features five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, a showpiece chef’s kitchen, and thoughtful touches throughout—including a dining area designed just for pets.

But it’s the experience beyond the walls that sets The Duck Club apart. A two-acre private lake anchors the property, complete with a sandy beach, floating island dock, paddle boards, kayaks, and stocked fish for casting a line at sunset. Nearby, a party barn brings energy and edge to weekend gatherings, while a fully furnished Airstream and open-air hot tub offer a quiet place to unwind.

Meandering walking paths connect it all—from sports courts to wellness gardens—offering both movement and moments of stillness. With its own well, generator, and solar system, the estate is entirely self-sufficient, built for those who value independence and connection in equal measure.

Whether you're seeking a place to gather or a space to retreat, The Duck Club is designed for the kind of living that makes memories last.

2794 Kara Lane is offered at $14,750,000.
