Property Description
Discover a rare opportunity to own a timeless gem in one of Santa Barbara's most beloved, safe, and stable neighborhoods. Nestled on a beautifully landscaped ¼-acre corner lot across from the iconic palm-lined Modoc Nature Preserve, where property purchase makes you a shareholder. This elegant residence with views of Hope Ranch exudes tranquility, comfort, and refined coastal charm.
Step inside the custom hand built front door to discover high-quality wood laminate flooring and custom tile work throughout. The inviting living room centers around a striking fireplace adorned with a custom sycamore mantle and colorful Talavera tile, trimmed in rich red oak and framed by bi-fold glass doors. Outdoor living is simply unparalleled. Relax beneath the pergola, unwind in the spa, or gather around the fire feature in your private backyard oasis, surrounded by lush, mature landscaping. Sip your morning coffee or evening wine from either of the two covered patios, or two uncovered flagstone patios, while enjoying the serenity of tiered drought-tolerant gardens filled with palms, succulents, and an abundant array of fruit trees with limes, oranges, tangerines, guavas, grapefruits, and more. Your wonderful, mature, fruitless mulberry tree fully shades the useful sized lawn which balances outdoor enjoyment, practicality, and water conservation. Fall asleep with the windows open to the heavenly scents of night blooming and pink jasmine while citrus blossoms waft through the air.
Additional highlights include:
Beautiful brick driveway with mature trees and high Allen Block retaining walls which boast picturesque curb appeal
Oversized, side-facing 2-car garage with attic access, driveaway sized for RV or boat and and additional off-street parking for several vehicles
Two large storage structures and two gated side yard entries
Openable skylights and energy-efficient dual pane windows for natural ventilation and peaceful quiet
Exceptional drainage and potential space for a pool or ADU
This home is located within the highly desirable Hope School District, with Vieja Valley Elementary just a short walk away, accompanied by a crossing guard for peace of mind. A new 10 million multi-use path is currently under construction along Modoc Road, offering direct access to the Obern Trail, Goleta Beach, Arroyo Burro Beach, and More Mesa Open Space. Perfect for nature lovers, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts.
Live just minutes from the best of Santa Barbara with Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, Gelson's, Sprouts, La Cumbre Plaza, and the Five Points Shopping Center all just a stone's throw away. All while enjoying a quiet, country-like ambiance with views of Hope Ranch and the Santa Ynez Mountains.
This is more than a home, it's a legacy. With only one owner since construction and very little turnover in this tightly held community, properties like this seldom become available. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of paradise in one of Santa Barbara's most treasured neighborhoods.
Call your favorite agent and schedule your private showing today. This opportunity will not last!
