Located in the Santa Ynez Valley, Alisal Ranch lies 35 miles northwest of Santa Barbara, in the horse and wine country just outside the Danish community of Solvang.
Long a low-profile retreat for Hollywood elite—Clark Gable and Lady Silvia were married there—it has evolved into a 10,000-acre spread containing six tennis courts, two 18-hole golf courses, a spring-fed lake, a spa and fitness center, and miles of horseback riding trails.
