Your Ballard Property, Your Investment, Our Management Expertise.
Ballard is a small community tucked away in the Santa Ynez Valley, a tiny treasure that has been somewhat overlooked in recent times. Ballard was founded in 1880 at the site of a Wells Fargo stage line station and named for William Ballard, the station’s owner. At the time, it was expected by its inhabitants to become a major metropolis. While the hoped for population boom never occurred, Ballard has become a charming small town to call home.
