1741 San Marcos Pass Rd, Santa Barbara, CA $4,250,000
A property like this comes along but once in a life time. A 72 acre property that has the natural resources for renewable, sustainable off the grid living in the four season comfort of Santa Barbara’s Mediterranean climate. A family retreat, a private sanctuary that has everything a nature lover desires in a rural ranch setting yet only minutes to the cultural conveniences of downtown Santa Barbara. This land is blessed with multiple water supplies and the predominantly south facing exposure has flat valley land with nutrient rich soils and gently sloping hillsides where agricultural improvements such as avocados, olives and a variety of fruit trees do very well.
The existing home is a 3 bedroom 3 bath treasure of comfort that provides for easy living all year long. While this home complements the ranch setting the ocean view building site is where an energy efficient home can be built with respects to the time we live in. Here one can find peace, privacy and solitude. A place to rejuvenate and find yourself again.
Ranch out buildings include a concrete floor shop/barn that has a full bath, laundry facilities, two outside lockout rooms for tack, two inside lock up rooms for storage and a great room with a roll up door. This structure could easily be a live work space. Across the court yard is a six stall stable, wash up and veterinarian area with an adjacent one bedroom grooms apartment. There is a large open sided barn for equipment, hay and storage. The eastern irrigated pastures are large enough for a regulation dressage, cutting, or hunter jumper arena. The western pastures are equally as generous and currently used for boarding 35 +/- horses. Other equestrian facilities include a hot walker, two training arenas with natural footing and access to approximately ten miles of trails.
Grounds and infrastructure: 200 +/- GPM artesian hot spring, 20 GPM fresh water well, Goleta agriculture water meter, entry water feature fountain, one fire hydrant, irrigated pastures and arena, 3 propane tanks, two septic tanks, T-line internet, SCE electrical grid, avocado, olive and family varietal fruit orchard.
Located off San Marcos Pass Road just two miles from US Highway 101 and upper State Street. The serene entry to the private area of the property is through an artistic gate and pepper tree lined road past irrigated pastures. The neighboring lands consists of large parcels of open space, yet 15 minutes to downtown Santa Barbara, health services, beaches and the airport.
There is plenty of room for horses, agricultural improvements and the remaining acreage is naturally wooded with a seasonal stream. Connecting trails for hikers and equestrian enthusiasts, this is a wonderful place to spend time.
