Tranquil Guest House with Panoramic Mountain Views Dog Friendly, Private, and Close to Town Nestled on over 1.3 beautifully landscaped acres, this light-filled, independent guest house offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the tranquility of nature just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara and the heart of Montecito. Built in 2011, the home seamlessly blends modern comfort with timeless elegance, offering a perfect retreat for those seeking privacy, convenience, and natural beauty. Step inside and immediately feel the warmth of the hardwood flooring that runs throughout the home. The open floor plan creates a spacious, airy feel enhanced by vaulted ceilings and oversized windows that flood the space with amazing natural light and frame sweeping, panoramic views of the Santa Ynez Mountains. The kitchen is equipped with newer, energy-efficient appliances, generous counter space, and ample cabinetry for storage. Whether you're cooking a quiet meal at home or entertaining a guest, the layout offers both function and flow. The main living area is flexible and inviting, perfect for a cozy reading nook, media setup, or work-from-home arrangement. Adding even more versatility to the space is a multi-use sleeping loft, ideal for guests, additional storage, or a creative home office setup. Tucked above the main living area, this loft adds functionality without compromising the open, airy feel of the home. The bedroom area offers excellent privacy and comfort, with large closets and even more natural light. Storage throughout the guest house is generous and well-planned, making it easy to keep your living space tidy and organized. A brand new air conditioning system ensures year-round comfort, even on the warmest Santa Barbara afternoons. Outside, the experience is just as spectacular. The guest house offers privacy and peaceful surroundings. Mature trees, lush plantings, and wide open space make it feel like your own private sanctuary. Morning coffee or evening wine on the patio comes with expansive views of the mountains, vibrant sunsets, and the peaceful sounds of nature. We warmly welcome dogs (with owner approval), and the property offers plenty of room to walk and play. Despite the peaceful, rural feel, you're just minutes from Coast Village Road, State Street, hiking trails, fine dining, beaches, and all the charm that Santa Barbara and Montecito have to offer. This is not just a guest house it's a rare lifestyle opportunity in one of the most beautiful parts of California.
