About this property
Spanish Mission Home with Pool - Away from Coastal Fog, in Quiet Neighborhood.
AS FEATURED AS A BACKDROP FOR FASHION SHOOTS,
TV INTERVIEWS AND FINE LIVING CHANNEL.
This is a peaceful Spanish Mission style retreat on a spectacular site with a large, private pool in the foothills of Santa Barbara. It has magnificent views, wonderful sunsets, and a tropical landscape that lends an exotic resort feeling.
The property is at the end of a private road.
With no through traffic, a tree house, pool and swings it is an ideal place for families with children.
HOWEVER, BECAUSE OF THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, THE PROPERTY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR LOUD GROUPS WANTING TO PARTY. The outside area is off limits after 9 pm. There is a limit to no more than 3 cars overnight parking unless arranged with owner permission. (Location shoots by arrangement).
Mission Santa Barbara is only one and one-half miles away. It is less than ten minutes from downtown Santa Barbara and four miles from beaches .
This artistic house is light, open, and comfortable. Interiors are colourful (Hacienda meets Mid-Century). The combined kitchen/dining room is large, 26 feet x 16 feet. The adjacent poolside dining area is an ideal place to watch the sunsets or enjoy lunch in the warm sunshine. The large living room, 20 feet x 25 feet, has a wood burning fireplace and wonderful mountain views. There is a home office and wireless internet, ideal for working remotely.
No smoking and no pets, please.
Swimming season typically April - October. The pool is heated by the use of a solar blanket which increases and maintains the water temperature. Owners require this to be reeled on at night and during times pool will not be used for several hours. Typical summer water temperature is in the mid 80s. To minimize evaporation, pool covers are required by the City of Santa Barbara's Water Smart program. There is a winter pool heating option, available for an addition charge by arrangement with owners.
The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and many hiking trails are nearby.
Rates discounted for weekly stays.
