Ranch living close to the beach with Swimming Pool & Jacuzzi | House in Santa Barbara

3 Bedroom House in Hidden Valley, Santa Barbara
Nestled in the tranquil Hidden Valley neighborhood between Bel Air and Hope Ranch, this serene escape comfortably accommodates up to six guests—eight if you include the pull-out bed in the living room. Situated at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac on a beautiful tree-lined street, the property borders a lush greenbelt with mature oak trees, offering a quiet, ranch-like atmosphere. Despite its secluded feel, it’s just two miles from Arroyo Burro Beach and four miles from downtown Santa Barbara. For added convenience, the home is equipped with a Tesla electric vehicle charging station. We only rent out our home occasionally when we are traveling, so it’s not available on a regular basis. This makes it a special opportunity to enjoy our space during your stay.
Spacious & Welcoming Interior
The open floor plan features an inviting entry hall and great room, with two bright seating areas in the living room that flow seamlessly into the dining area and kitchen. The dining table seats eight comfortably, with room for up to ten when needed.
The well-equipped kitchen overlooks the front yard and meadow and boasts stone countertops, a gas stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, garbage disposal, and reverse osmosis filtered water. It comes fully stocked with cookware, an ice cream maker, waffle maker, serving ware, and glassware, ensuring a delightful cooking experience. A washer and dryer are also available for your convenience.
Outdoor Oasis
Step through double glass doors onto a spacious patio featuring a teak table that seats eight, perfect for outdoor dining while overlooking the expansive backyard with mature oak trees. Relax on custom eucalyptus and cedar benches, or fire up the outdoor Blaze gas grill for a BBQ with a view. Nearby, a cozy seating area for eight surrounds a gas fire pit, providing warmth without the smoke.
Poolside Relaxation
The large, 35x20-foot pool is accessible through a sliding glass door from the living room and is surrounded by black bamboo and tropical plants. With a deep end reaching 10 feet and a shallow end of 3 feet, it's ideal for all ages. After a swim, enjoy the hot outdoor shower or unwind in the Jacuzzi, nestled among bamboo and palms. The pool is equipped with an easy-to-use CoverPro pool cover for added safety and peace of mind.
Charming Bedrooms & Bathrooms
The home features three full bathrooms—one with a classic pink tub and shower, and another in the master bedroom with a standalone shower. A third, outdoor bathroom is conveniently located by the pool. While the bathrooms retain their original charm, they are fully functional and well-maintained.
Natural Beauty & Birdwatching
The property is exceptionally quiet, offering daily opportunities to observe a variety of bird species. With over 500 bird species in Santa Barbara, regular visitors include red-tailed hawks, Cooper's hawks, tree sparrows, black phoebes, woodpeckers, doves, and great horned owls. A stroll through the back gate leads to a vast 14-acre meadow with oak trees, a hidden 5-course frisbee golf course, and the year-round Arroyo Burro Creek.
Prime Location for Outdoor Activities
Located just 1.5 miles from Elings Park, you’ll have access to mountain biking and hiking trails, tennis courts, a BMX course, and athletic fields. Hidden Valley is also close to La Cumbre Country Club, Santa Barbara Golf Club, and Hidden Oaks Golf Course. Explore historic downtown, State Street’s restaurants, the harbor, zoo, art museum, and more—all within biking distance or a short drive.
