Secluded Santa Barbara Retreat with Panoramic Views
Commanding approximately 3.12 acres in Santa Barbara's San Roque foothills, this exquisite 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers the perfect fusion of privacy, convenience, and breathtaking views. With panoramic vistas of the Santa Barbara Mission, Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and beyond, this home captures the essence of Santa Barbara’s natural beauty and vibrant charm. On one side, enjoy sweeping urban views of city. On the other, immerse yourself in nature with native chaparral, a coastal oak grove, and the majestic Santa Ynez Mountains, highlighted by stunning views of La Cumbre Peak.
Meandering natural pathways wind through the property, thoughtfully following the land’s contours. Since 2020, no herbicides, pesticides, or rodenticides have been used, preserving the pristine environment and enhancing the home’s harmony with nature. A multi-level terrace, firepit, and additional seating areas offer ideal settings for enjoying the ocean, city, canyon, and mountain vistas, and alfresco dining beneath the shade of a 300 or so year-old coastal oak known as “Mother Oak.”
Inside, the living room features vaulted, beamed ceilings, providing a grand yet inviting to take in the stunning scenery. A separate studio with its own private entrance and bathroom provides a flexible option as a guest or extended family suite.
The property also has approximately 80 mature avocado trees, adding natural beauty and potential for agricultural use. Whether envisioning a productive retreat or simply enjoying the tranquility of the orchard, this unique feature enhances the home’s charm and versatility.
Ideally located near Upper State Street’s amenities and the award-winning Peabody Charter School—a 2023 National Blue Ribbon School for academic excellence -- this property provides an excellent balance of city accessibility and serene retreat.
