Hope Ranch

Down a private tree-lined drive is a Hope Ranch estate with over 2.7 level acres of verdant wooded and landscaped grounds in the exclusive, serene neighborhood of Hope Ranch. Room for a tennis court and or horse facilities. The classical traditional single-story home with 3 bedrooms and 3 ½ baths offers beautiful garden views through glass walls and doors and absolutely splendid mountain views from the grand master suite’s windows. 

With peaked and beamed ceilings and generously-sized rooms, this bright and airy home was designed for the California indoor / outdoor style of entertainment with easy access to patios, a pass-through bar that connects the living room and kitchen, a mudroom and large laundry room with storage in a wing off the kitchen, leaving the bedroom wing in a quiet zone. Coziness and warmth come from the fireplaces in the master suite and living room. The rooms are trimmed with white wood molding, shuttered closet doors, both covered and open storage shelves.

The kitchen adjoins a formal dining room with abundant storage and boasts a spacious open informal dining and family area with a floor-to-ceiling view of its own patio. An indoor grill, display shelving and a convenient small office center completes the kitchen, making it a hub for activities.

Garden paths and patios are lined with soft red bricks to offset the green lawns and hedges. A gazebo beckons guests and family to enjoy leisure time in a shady spot and informal paths meander through the trees offering a carefree, park-like setting.

A peaceful, softly-lit sitting area offers retreat into the master bedroom suite. The high ceiling and arched windows of the bedroom allow natural sky light to stream into the space and panoramic views of gardens and mountain peaks appear as live landscape paintings. Next to the fireplace, thoughtfully placed shelves and storage cabinets are ready to house books and memorabilia.

With the double garage, car-park area, and the many amenities of living in Hope Ranch, including an exclusive beach, horse trails and more, entertaining is a breeze. Nearby is the La Cumbre Country Club and golf course, shopping, restaurants and schools; just minutes away are all of the art galleries and cultural events in downtown Santa Barbara and UCSB.
