Santa Barbara living at its best!
This Santa Barbara gem is nestled in the rolling hills of the highly-desirable Upper Mission Canyon neighborhood. Built in 2017, this nearly-new 3 bedroom / 3 bath home boasts breathtaking views of the mountains and ocean. Flooded with natural light, the home's generous windows and doors capture views of the all-natural surroundings: amazing rock face of White Mountain & La Cumbre Peak; ocean and island views; families of deer passing through the property almost daily; oak trees; the canyon's italianesque olive orchard; and on occasion the canyon's Mission Waterfalls.
On 1.17 acres across from the Botanic Garden's trail access on Tunnel Rd., this secluded sanctuary feels far-removed from downtown. In reality it's a 5-minute drive to the Mission, and Rose Garden, 7 minutes to upper State Street businesses, shopping with Trader Joe's and Gelson's, and 10 minutes to downtown.
Near great hiking trails including: Tunnel trail up to Seven Falls, Inspiration Point, or East Camino Cielo Road, with nearby trails at Rattlesnake Canyon or the Jesusita Trail at Stevens Park.((
