A landscape with character
Rolling rangeland, mature oaks and the El Jaro Creek corridor give this Jalama Valley property its distinctive setting.
02
Purpose-built facilities
A loping and schooling arena, cutting pen, covered turnouts, stalls and cattle-working facilities support an established ranch operation.
03
A stewardship framework
A recorded conservation easement protects agricultural, natural and scenic character. Its terms are an essential part of evaluating the property.
01 / The land
A ranch shaped by its setting.
Approximately 108± acres unfold through the Jalama Valley, where rolling grazing land, mature oaks and the El Jaro Creek corridor give the ranch a varied, distinctly rural character.
The landscape provides the setting for an established equestrian and cattle operation, with the land and working improvements presented as one connected property.
02 / Horse & cattle
Built to work.
The performance-horse headquarters pairs a large loping and schooling arena with a dedicated cutting pen. Pipe-fenced holding and sorting pens, covered turnouts, a round pen, stalls and cattle-working facilities support the day-to-day operation.
Shop, equipment and storage buildings round out the working improvements. The listing reports that Big Bend has historically supported approximately 70 head of beef cattle; future carrying capacity should be independently evaluated.
03 / Stewardship
A landscape to carry forward.
A recorded conservation easement held by The Land Trust for Santa Barbara County protects the ranch’s agricultural, natural and scenic character. The recorded terms should be reviewed in relation to any intended use or improvement.
Big Bend is also enrolled under the Williamson Act. Together, these are important parts of the property’s long-term stewardship framework and a central consideration for a prospective owner.

The working improvements
Built for ranch life.
Equestrian facilities
Loping and schooling arena, dedicated cutting pen, covered turnouts, round pen and stalls, supported by extensive pipe-fenced pens.
Cattle operations
Holding and sorting pens and cattle-working facilities. Historical cattle numbers are reported by the listing and should not be treated as a guarantee of future capacity.
Water resources
Two wells and an approximately 35,000-gallon cistern are described in the current listing. The 2020 hydrology report documents historical testing and water-treatment considerations. Review the report and obtain current testing to assess supply, quality and suitability for intended uses.
Operational support
Shop, equipment and storage buildings support the ranch’s horse and cattle facilities and daily operation.
Stewardship & intended use
The conservation easement and Williamson Act enrollment should be reviewed early in the purchase process. Confirm the scope of permitted uses, any approval requirements and the implications for your intended plans with qualified advisers.
