Santa Barbara living at its best!

Nestled in the rolling hills of the highly desirable Mission Canyon neighborhood, this nearly new 3 bedroom/3 bath home boasts panoramic views of the mountains and ocean. Flooded with natural light, the home's generous windows and doors capture views of the all-natural surroundings: the amazing rock face of White Mountain and La Cumbre peaks, ocean and island views, oak trees and deer passing through the property, a distant olive orchard, and on occasion the canyon's Mission Falls.

On 1.17 acres across from the Botanic Garden's trail access on Tunnel Road, this secluded sanctuary feels far removed from downtown. In reality it's a short 5-minute drive to the Santa Barbara Mission and Rose Garden, 7 minutes to upper State Street shopping... ...with Trader Joe's and Gelson's, and 10 minutes to downtown.

Under an oak tree behind the house on the west hillside, is the perfect spot for ocean gazing with the best ocean views on the property. One can easily imagine a gazebo, hot-tub space, or other relaxation area here.
