425 1st Street, Solvang, CA 93463
425 1st Street in Solvang presents a rare 21,344 SF VMU (Village Mixed Use) development site located just one block from Copenhagen Drive in the heart of the city's high-traffic tourism corridor. The property, formerly the Water Wheel building and scheduled for demolition, offers a true clean-slate opportunity for a variety of uses including boutique hotel, mixed-use, residential, or senior housing. Positioned within the highly desirable Santa Ynez Valley, the site benefits from strong tourism demand, walkability to shops, restaurants, and tasting rooms, and a significant lack of new boutique hotel supply. VMU zoning provides flexibility for multiple development strategies, with potential to increase density through California State Density Bonus Law (buyer to verify).
