Hope Ranch Alternative! At the end of a long private lane, this modern farmhouse home sits on nearly four acres. Mountain, foothill, and ocean views lend a dramatic backdrop to the tranquil setting of this home with lush flowering grounds, pool with spa, outdoor kitchen and much more. Must see in person!
Extensively remodeled in 2018 with a standing seam metal roof. Doublewide sliding doors in the living room frame the flagstone terrace, pool with waterfall, flower gardens, and views beyond. Some of the many highlights are the spacious open floor plan; a Santa Barbara sandstone fireplace in the living room; the vaulted wood ceiling with eco-friendly beams; the quartzite counters in the gourmet kitchen equipped with top-of-the-line appliances; and a stunning Primary suite hosting two generous walk-in closets, a double-sided fireplace serving the bedroom and bath, and a private view porch. In addition, there's an ensuite guest bedroom with a balcony and views of the canyon. This home also features an office, dining area, walk-in pantry, laundry room, fire sprinklers, built-in bookcases, outdoor kitchen, fruit trees, raised garden bed, circular driveway with plenty of parking, huge basement, and a storage room. The fully finished garage offers a multitude of possibilities a new owner may choose to pursue whether it be more bedrooms, a junior ADU, a game room, or returning use to a spacious two car garage.

The 3.88 acre setting provides a serene country ambiance and features three distinct areas. The house, pool, landscaped yard, and driveway. An oak forested canyon with trails. And an elevated pad perfect for horses or a new owner may wish to pursue other possibilities.

Views abound from both inside the home and outside. On one side are views of the foothills as they cascade down to the ocean and islands beyond. On the other, striking rocky peaks of the Santa Ynez range lend a dramatic backdrop to the approach to the house, a long driveway lined with flowering landscaping. Visitors are struck by a sense of tranquility, yet it is only a ten minute drive to shopping and restaurants. This home truly offers the Santa Barbara lifestyle.
