The story
Offered for the first time in nearly 60 years, this longtime Hope Ranch property presents a rare opportunity to reimagine a classic Santa Barbara home on approx. 1.5 mostly flat acres. Surrounded by mature landscaping with a variety of fruit & avocado trees, the property offers an exceptional combination of space, privacy and tremendous upside potential. The home features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, generous living and dining areas, a fireplace, and an additional office/flex room off the garage. The home lives primarily as a single-level residence, with just a few interior steps leading to the bedroom wing, where all 4 bedrooms and 2 baths are located. Large windows and sliding doors bring in abundant natural light and open the living spaces to the expansive grounds. A laundry room just off the kitchen offers a utility sink and separate enclosed toilet room, conveniently located near the garage entry. The real opportunity is the setting and the amount of usable land. With approximately 1.5 acres of predominantly flat terrain, there is plenty of room to renovate and expand the existing residence or create something entirely new. The grounds offer exciting possibilities for a pool, tennis or pickleball court, equestrian improvements, gardens, expanded outdoor living and more. Beyond the property itself, Hope Ranch is one of Santa Barbara's most prestigious and sought-after communities, celebrated for its exceptional privacy, natural beauty, and distinctive coastal lifestyle. Residents enjoy over 32 miles of scenic equestrian trails winding throughout the community, access to the private Hope Ranch beach, community tennis courts, and a dedicated security patrol. With its expansive estates, picturesque surroundings, and beautiful coastline, Hope Ranch offers a truly special opportunity to experience the very best of Santa Barbara living.
