Alisal Ranch Homes is a small, gated residential enclave within the 10,000+ acre historic Alisal Ranch guest-ranch resort near Solvang. Homes here are built on land leased directly from the ranch rather than owned fee-simple -- a genuinely distinctive structure that ties residential value directly to the resort/ranch ecosystem and results in home prices roughly half those of comparable fee-simple properties nearby. Golf (Ranch Course and River Course) and tennis access is available to residents via membership.
