The house is tucked in a Hidden Valley between Bel Air and Hope Ranch that accommodates 6 people comfortably. Down a majestic mature tree lined street, at the end of a Cul-de-sac next to an expansive green belt with lots of mature oak trees. Again you will feel like you are on a ranch but in the middle of Santa Barbara two miles from Arroyo Burro Beach, 4 miles from downtown. House is equipped with a Electric Vehicle charging station.

Our open floor plan features an entry hall and great-room with well lite two seating areas in the living room that opens up to the dining room and kitchen. The dining room seats 8 comfortably but in a pinch up to 10.

The landscaping was completely redone two years ago by Isa Bird Landscape Design. A small dog would be considered and the yard is fully fenced. Open the back gate for a stroll onto an expansive meadow with oak trees. In the right side of the meadow is an organic farm and a year-round stream called Arroyo Burro Creek.

The pool is located just outside the living room, through a glass sliding door lined by black bamboo and tropical plants. The previous owner was in the pool business…it’s really spacious. 35ft x 20ft The deep end is 10 ft to 3 feet in the shallow end. Want to relax, jump into the poolside Jacuzzi surrounded by bamboo and palms with a view of oak trees and red tail hawks flying overhead. When you are done with the pool, electronically cover with a CoverPro pool-cover with a simple switch. The system is designed to give you peace of mind as it completely eliminates the danger for children & pets.
