SANTA BARBARA, CA 93103

El Rancho Hacienda. Designed as a rural Southern California interpretation of the classic bungalow court, this rare enclave of seven individual casitas set on five serene acres is only minutes from downtown Santa Barbara yet feels worlds away. Originally built in the mid-1940's, the enchanting Southwestern adobe-style home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, a blend of authentic Mexican tile and wide plank oak floors, soaring beamed ceilings, and three fireplaces. Seamlessly transitioning from inside to outside, the living room and family room connect to several beautiful covered and uncovered outdoor patios. Mature landscaping frames nearly every view. Tucked under a majestic oak tree, a detached structure offers flexible use as an office, art studio, or home gym. The indoor-outdoor living experience is truly special, with patios and grounds that evoke a private botanical garden- lush, tranquil, and completely removed from the everyday. The expansive lot is meticulously landscaped, featuring drought tolerant plantings and mature fruit trees. Minutes from the Mission, and steps from the Sheffield Reservoir walking trails, this is a property that must be experienced in person to fully appreciate its beauty, character, and sense of tranquility.
