Olivia Newton-John's California Ranch Sells for $8 Million.
The renowned film, television, and music icon Olivia Newton-John passed away in 2022. In the latter part of her life, Olivia resided on a picturesque ranch in Santa Ynez, California, which is situated in the state's celebrated wine region. She acquired the 12-acre property in 2015 for $4.69 million. Recently, her estate sold the property to an undisclosed buyer for $7.95 million.
This sale represents a reduction from the nearly $9 million asking price at which the property was initially listed in May of the previous year, particularly when taking into account the ranch's somewhat unique location, as detailed in its official listing.
"This 12+/-acre private estate is built out to the highest level of quality and sophistication, located on one of the rare parcels fronting the Santa Ynez River. The home offers a contemporary and sophisticated design based on a western ranch vernacular. There are 4 bedrooms, a large great room, a gourmet cooks kitchen, office, and game room; all constructed with impeccable attention to detail.

The property is loaded with features, including a barn, a 2 bedroom guest house, pool and outdoor kitchen, a detached 4 car garage, stable plus an arena and pastures; everything was completed with uncompromising quality. Very few properties in the Santa Ynez Valley have frontage on the River; this is one of them!"
The primary residence of the ranch encompasses nearly 4,500 square feet of living space, creating an environment that one could easily envision being inhabited by a celebrity such as Olivia Newton-John. Last autumn, when the property was put on the market, there were speculations that Joe and Jill Biden were considering it as a potential residence following their time in the White House; however, these speculations were subsequently deemed unfounded.
Regardless, the former ranch of Olivia Newton-John can be viewed in the video below from the Village Properties YouTube channel:
