Property Description

Come to where time stood still.

Offered for the first time in its history, this remarkable turn-of-the-century ranch house rests on approximately .61 acres and represents a rare slice of Santa Barbara's agricultural heritage. Once part of an original ranch that stretched from Hollister Avenue to More Mesa, this cherished property remains a living testament to a simpler era.

The historic water tower is a striking landmark that reflects the property's enduring character.The original ranch house retains its historic floor plan, offering a glimpse into how families lived more than a century ago. Original wood floors, a handsome stone fireplace once used to cook, and timeless architectural details create an atmosphere rich with authenticity. The three-bedroom, two-bath primary residence is surrounded by telltale signs having witnessed past generations. A charming chicken coop and expansive grounds further evoke the property's rural roots.

The historic barn, once home to horses and farming equipment, has been thoughtfully transformed into a unique barndominium. Above is a separate living quarters featuring two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom--ideal for guests, extended family, rental income, or creative pursuits. Below, substantial garage and storage spaces provide exceptional flexibility.

Properties of this significance seldom come to market. Steeped in history, rich in character, and deeply connected to Santa Barbara's past, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to become the next steward of an irreplaceable piece of local heritage.
