The Antolini Ranch carries with it a colorful history. Giovanni Antolini, the grandfather of the current owner, was a mason working on the mansion located at the adjacent Baron Ranch. During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Mr. Baron experienced financial failure and was unable to pay Mr. Antolini in money. Instead, Mr. Baron offered Mr. Antolini his choice of 24 acres, which was calculated to be the value of the money that was owed. Being a mason by trade, Mr. Antolini mapped out the current parcel based upon the unique rock formations that he then commenced to quarry. There are still some signs of the historic quarry works today. Interestingly, Paul Antolini, the primary current owner continues the family tradition to this day, operating a quarry east of Santa Maria.

The Antolini Ranch is currently unimproved and not much different than it was back in the days when Mr. Baron paid the Antolini family by deeding them the Property. Located above Highway 101, it has a primarily southern slope facing the Pacific Ocean, as Highway 101 runs east and west at this point. The elevations above the lower rock formations provides stunning views of the Gaviota coastline and the Santa Barbara Channel Islands.
