Nestled into a 14-acre private park, and 1 1/2 miles from Hendry's Beach, this 3BD / 2.5 BA contemporary Mediterranean home of nearly 2,700 sq. ft. delivers the quintessential Santa Barbara active lifestyle. Providing unparalleled peace and quiet, the park is co-owned with 11 other neighboring homes in an HOA. Inside you'll find a bright and airy main floor with 10-foot ceilings, a newly renovated gourmet kitchen with Viking appliances and adjacent den, and a great room comprising a living room with FP and dining room, and Sonos throughout.

Venture past fully landscaped gardens up the private wooded hillside trail for a commanding view of the majestic Santa Ynez mountains backdropping Santa Barbara.
