RESTORATION OAKS RANCH is a privately owned retreat center, blueberry farm, and working cattle ranch located in the Santa Ynez Valley, just 25 miles north of Santa Barbara, California.

The ranch is just under 1,000 acres with native plants and wildlife, hundreds of oaks and sycamores, creeks, ponds, and blueberry fields.

Roads and trails provide access to most of the ranch, and are sometimes shared with the occasional cow—enjoying the grass, and lounging in the sun.

Working with the State of California, and representatives from local environmental agencies, the owners, Rolland and Venetia Jacks, have been 'restoring' Restoration Oaks Ranch for some time now.



The ranch was once known as the most efficient and profitable cattle ranch in California, and by renewing the landscape, and bringing new life to the creeks, ponds, and natural springs, the Jacks' have helped make the ranch, healthy and beautiful again.

There are over 20 acres of blueberries, and during blueberry season, visitors can pick their own blueberries.

Retreats
Our Main Retreat House (able to comfortably handle 12 to 18 guests) will undergo complete remodeling and renovation. We are making changes and improvements to the house that will give it all the modern conveniences, comforts, and amenities guests seek while retaining a feeling of ‘Rustic Elegance’.

The Old Cook House with it's woodsy cabinlike feel, will become the Lounge area with everything you'll need to relax and enjoy time with friends, family, and coworkers.

Events
Big plans are in the works to make Restoration Oaks Ranch the perfect venue for weddings, receptions, and events of all kinds. Several beautiful outdoor settings will become permanent areas to hold company picnics, family reunions, weddings, and get togethers of all kinds. Our large barn will get more than a facelift as we ready it for receptions, weddings, and just about any kind of indoor gathering.

With catering facilities, a removable stage, windows with views of the hillsides, new restrooms, patios, grass areas, state of the art sound system, and quite possibly a few anique chandeliers, the Restoration Oaks Ranch Event Venue Barn and Outdoor Areas will be worth the wait.
