Hollister Ranch

This 100 acre beach front parcel is located at Hollister Ranch on the Gaviota coast, just west of Santa Barbara.  It is one of the prime ocean front parcels of land on the Southern California coast from Point Conception to the Mexican Border.  It is in the best location on the Ranch just minutes from the main gate.  This home sits closer to the ocean than any other property on the Ranch.  There is approximately 1,600 linear feet along the low lying bluff, with large level meadow and lawn areas, a large pond, mature plantings of palms and gardens, and its own walking trail to the very private beach below.

The approximately 4,000 square foot home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a large great room with high ceilings, large beams, and walls of glass that expand the ocean and coastline views.  The house is well situated close to the bluff with views out to the ocean, islands, coastline, and down the beach to a beautiful headland known as “Bulito Point” or “Ranch House Point.”  You can often watch groups of Dolphins swim by, whales, seals, otters, and a wide assortment of sea birds right out of the front windows.

The primary site is well below the main road served by a long, gravel, tree lined drive.  There is a fenced pasture area perfect for horses, a large open grazing area, and several knoll sites at the base of the foothills among the oaks.  The parcel runs from the bluff to up over the top of the adjacent coastal foothills.

The parcel is served by two wells.  The main well is electrically powered in the adjacent canyon, pumps 6 to 7 gpm up to two 5000 gallon holding tanks. This property also has rights and is connected to the neighbor’s well.  There is a third well, the “found well,” that is up at the windmill site and has never been used.  Its original pump test shows approximately 6 gpm.

The owners have fully approved plans to remodel the residence for additions of approximately 1,000 square feet of a new family room, and kitchen. Also, a new master bedroom as well as a three car garage with workshop, green house, a guest house, wine cellar, and a barn.  This is set up perfectly for a new owner to come in and take advantage of the difficult process of obtaining permits and to further develop this property to enhance its potential.

A property like this hasn’t been available on the Ranch in close to ten years and it is a very rare opportunity to obtain a large portion of the Santa Barbara, Southern California coastline.  Properties like this just don’t exist in today’s modern world in Southern California.  For further information about this property and details about the Hollister Ranch please call.
