Hope Ranch Santa Barbara is an exclusive enclave of homes near the beach that also offers close proximity to downtown and shopping and dining. There are roughly 500 homes, all of which have larger parcel sizes, most of which are over 1 acre. The homes are nestled into the landscaping and miles and miles of horse trails in such a way that you achieve maximum privacy while still having somewhat of a connected feel to the rest of the community. There is also a stunning golf course, clubhouse, and a private beach and park for the neighborhood, as well. Properties sell for $1,400,000 to $40,000,000, and not a single property has sold for less than that in the last handful of years, even the smaller lots and houses on busier parts of the neighborhood. Many Hope Ranch home buyers purchase the home for the “lot” value alone, while others purchase to obtain the many charming features and extensive remodeling.

A handful of times per year, a fantastic property in Santa Barbara will come on the market and for whatever reason be drastically under priced. This is one of those opportunities. It is a 3/2 home with roughly 1750 SF in a very private and quiet part of the desirable Hope Ranch neighborhood. The house sits at the top of 2.5 acres and offers room for horses, kids to explore, and stunning mountain views. The house sold for $1.8m back in 2006 and I remember having active clients at the time interested in the property at that price as well. The property can easily be rented or enjoyed “As-is” for your personal use; or someone could come in and add additional decking, expand the home, and remodel it to an even higher caliber.

Hope Ranch is an exclusive enclave of homes near the beach, that also offers close proximity to downtown and shopping/dining. There are roughly 500 homes, all of which have larger parcel sizes, most of which are over 1 acre. The homes are nestled into the landscaping and miles and miles of horse trails in such a way that you achieve maximum privacy while still having somewhat of a connected feel to the rest of the community. There is also a stunning golf course, club house, and a private beach/park for the neighborhood as well. Properties sell for $1.4m-40 million, and not a single property has sold for less than that in the last handful of years, even the smaller lots/houses on busier parts of the neighborhood. The current list price is lower than the “lot” value alone and the home is in great shape and has a lot of charming features that could be maximized with some additional touches and remodeling.

Santa Barbara & Hope Ranch Real Estate Market Update: For the Santa Barbara area as a whole, we have seen a 30% increase in the # of sales this year compared to last year (year over year) at this time and a 47% increase in the volume ($$ sold) during that same period. For Hope Ranch, the numbers are even more staggering as we’ve seen literally DOUBLE the number of sales this year as last year (10 vs 5).  We’ve got a very active market as buyers are taking advantage of the still low interest rates, motivated sellers and these bank-owned property.

If you have any questions, or want to schedule an appointment to view the property, please contact me ASAP (805-637-7148 or Daniel@ZiaGroup.com). The property just came on the market and it already has word of 1-2 offers coming in (per the listing agent), so I would expect by the end of the weekend there will be multiple offers and they’ll “close the door” and deal just with those offers and no others.
