Imagine arriving at your own private, storybook estate in the heart of Santa Ynez wine country. Los Olivos, renowned for its thoroughbred racehorse ranches and private acreage estates, is also a nationally known wine destination, popularized by the 2004 Sideways movie.

Welcome to Clairmont Farms! Once home to David Cassidy, this legacy property combines classic 1930s architecture with Hollywood heritage and sweeping lavender fields. The eight acre estate accommodates three separate homes, plus a barn.

The main house was built and designed by a 1930s silent film actress who wanted her own paradise in the valley. Planned for entertaining, the main home living room features a twenty-foot wall of window, highlighting the Hollywood-style pool and oversized patio in the backyard. Hospitality-minded touches include a serving room that directly services the patio area, a large Butler’s pantry, and a wine cellar. By design, the windows and door placements emphasize natural light and cross-breeze, while each en suite bedroom has its own bathroom. Preserving its historic charm through features like original doors, hand-carved door frames, classic moldings, and restored hardwood floors, the main residence is also ready for contemporary enhancements.

Beyond the main house and tucked away for privacy, the original 1920s farmhouse provides another three-bedroom living area for guests, or its current use as a short-term rental space.

The third house on the property, the carriage house, adds yet another living, creative, or rental space. Once used by David Cassidy as his recording studio, this space is easily used as a business operation center or an artist’s studio. Currently a working lavender farm, with the guest houses being rented short-term,
