What makes an estate a ranch?
It has a barn for two horses. Is that it?
A 12-acre “ranch?”

In America a ranch house generally means that the rooms are all on one floor.
I hate ranch houses, if there isn’t a charming or imposing staircase in the entryway, I’m out.
However, her husband is very handsome and I’d be interested in seeing nude pics of him.

IIRC she donated many acres of land on the edge of her property to a Capuchin Monastery. Though she was not raised Catholic, she felt she belonged to Catholicism and went to their mass every morning.

He'll get what he's asking. I remember when ONJ auctioned of mementos from her career to donate to her cancer charity. All of her stuff went for hundreds of times more than they estimated. A fucking signed Grease movie poster with her on it went for nearly 100K. The grease pants went for nearly 1 million. The sweetheart who bought them gave them back to her. Her pants that she wore on some TV special in the early 70s, while she sang Have You Never Been Mellow went for nearly 60K.

R1, a "ranchette" is a small ranch, typically located on the periphery of a larger city. They're usually around 40 acres, but I've seen a few as small as five (e.g. around L.A.). If the owners are rich, they usually buy them for limited purposes such as housing & training equestrian horses. That seems to be the case here: the People article mentions, "A barn, stable, arena and pastures can also be found on the property."
Santa Ynez is a bit far out, but OTOH Santa Barbara / Montecito real estate costs a fucking fortune despite being a two-hour drive to L.A., so I think it's a fair price.
R8, I think you're confusing her husbands. It was the one before her widower who was supposedly lost at sea, and he was who she married after breaking up with Matt Lattanzi.

Yes, a bungalow was traditionlly a small, one story house or cottage, often with verandas all around. It was primarily an architectural style, often an arts & crafts or craftsman style home built at the turn of the 20th Century. These days and for years now, lots of classic bungalows have been enlarged, expanded and even had their roofs raised to add a second story, so today it is primarily a cottage-y archtectural style circa 1900-1930.
Ranches were bigger and on bigger properties, primarily in the west, but the term came to be used for any one-story suburban home, at least on the east coast by mid-century.

A ranch house is not the same thing as a ranch. A ranch should be a large property with livestock. i think it’s pretentious to call a house a “ranch” because it is ranch-style (meaning in the style of an actual ranch, not a “ranch house” which is a type of suburban home).
Show me the cattle.

Yeah - Santa Ynez is nice to visit and some good wineries. Then there's the obligatory Solvang. But then that's about it. There's a casino.
Too remote for me. Even if it is 45-60 minutes to Santa Barbara. I wonder if they had the vineyards next door.
Hard to think she was THAT Catholic or Christian - she's technically Jewish. (Her mother is Jewish and her grandfather was Max Born).

Fortunately, she funded a proper medical cancer research and treatment centre adjoining a major hospital in Melbourne--and visited the patients every time she was there, too.

Not sure about the location. Seems like people could buy property around the perimeter, build McMansions, and that would change the whole vibe of ONJ's house.
Yeah, she did seem to value looks when choosing husbands. But look what she got. Some grifter / flake who faked his own death. Her daughter seems really troubled and has body dysmorphia, it seems.
What else, in her estate, would be super-valuable, like her Sandy Spandex pants from Grease?

Santa Ynez is an agricultural area, lately "wine country". When I was growing up nearby, it was known for its cattle ranches and wealthy cattle ranchers. And horses. The wine country designation is more recent and is one of the causes of the area's increasingly severe water crisis. Grapes need water. Cattle not so much. It's a lovely example of Central California geography. Rolling hills and valleys. Not a lot of green. Poison oak flourishes. And it is hot and dry for much of the year. There are hardly any gay people there. Hardly any culture. And you've got to drive everywhere.

by Anonymous | reply 36 | June 11, 2024 8:49 PM |
[R-36] Cattle require less water than grapes and many other crops. They do need land to graze in. That’s why there are cattle ranches in relatively arid places. Central California was once home to enormous land grant cattle ranches going back to Spanish colonialism. Many of the ranchers sold out to developers or became developers themselves. This required/requires using up more of the aquifers than can be naturally replenished. My nephew got his degree in agriculture at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, just south of Santa Barbara. He was told by his professors to expect the area’s wells to run dry in 10 years. Similar situation in Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. It is unconscionable for the government to permit continued development without addressing this.

R38 - I had no idea Neverland was in Los Olivos. What the hell? That's pretty remote.
Of course, Reagan's ranch was on the other side of the valley closer to the ocean, but still - nothing around.
I understand the desire for privacy, but I never been the one for country life.
Do you think they also had a place in Santa Barbara?

Tons of stars live in Montecito - but that's along the coast and reasonable to get to LA. Plus Santa Barbara is gorgeous.
