Description
Captivating Oasis. Live and drive by the power of the sun. Enjoy this energy-saving home with the new Tesla Power Walls, Supercharger and additional solar and energy-efficient systems already in place. Stunning Tuscan-style estate boasting 7,500+/- sq ft main house with 6 en-suite bedrooms, plus a separate and very private 2 ensuite bedroom guest house (770+/- sq. ft), infinity pool/spa, custom skateboard track, playing field, 3.6+/- acres, landscaped, with fruit trees and raised organic garden beds. Room for equestrian facilities, greenhouse and more. Hope Ranch's privately accessed beach is close by, with access via car or equestrian trail. A rare find in any community, the privacy of the beach and the riding trails is sure to please the homeowner looking for tranquility and beauty.
The main residence showcases formal and informal spaces. The entrance flows easily to the living room with walls of glass looking out to the ocean views. The heart of the home encompasses the gourmet kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances and a dining nook, a sun-filled Living room with a large folding glass wall opening to the covered patio and infinity pool with ocean and mountain views, a central wet-bar and 500 bottle wine closet, and gracious formal dining room with striking mountain views. Dine outdoors with meals prepared at the outdoor kitchen (complete with Viking barbeque, wood-burning pizza oven, warming drawer, undercounter refrigerator and sink).
The primary suite, situated on the upper level, is a tranquil, safe haven. Gentle ocean breezes naturally cool the room from the open doors of the private balcony with views to the ocean and islands. The sumptuous primary bathroom(s) space is more than a room to shower. It is a personal retreat, with a view filled soaking tub, a dual entry shower, two separate water closets (one with a toilet and bidet), and two generous walk-in closets. Four additional bedroom suites and a home office are on another wing on the main level of the home. Not to be forgotten is the lower-level bedroom suite, which could also be a home theatre.
Hope Ranch is a treasure in itself. Palm lined drives, miles of meandering equestrian and walking trails and a pristine (privately accessed) Hope Ranch Beach create a peaceful environment for the estates and homes. Resident equestrians are able to ride to the beach via the gated bridle trail. Owners and their guests also have access to the private tennis courts on Las Palmas Drive. Close to schools, shopping, fine dining, parks, the harbor, airport, cultural venues, La Cumbre Country Club, golf and downtown Santa Barbara & Goleta, Hope Ranch is the ideal location for a primary residence or secondary retreat.
