Hummingbird Rock Ranch: An Ocean and Mountain View Retreat

Description

This captivatingly beautiful ocean and mountain view retreat, rests serenely on a knoll above the charming California coastal hamlet of Summerland. Mere minutes from the affluent enclave of Montecito, the Hummingbird Rock Ranch showcases surreal panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, its white water coastline, and the spectacular Santa Ynez Mountains. The ranch is designed with an elevated interpretation of the indoor-outdoor lifestyle in mind, and offers a highly versatile footprint. This magical estate hosts three legal residences: each its own private oasis. Among them is a Balinese-inspired main residence with detached studio, and a whimsical ranch-style guest house. A 5-stall barn with attached guest cottage and private office is conveniently located adjacent to the estate’s existing horse corral. The stunning grounds are nourished by a private well, 15,000 gallons of water storage and a Desalitech RO water purification system.

Multiple residences on this ocean and mountain view retreat allow for a wealth of possibilities, including an equestrian estate, a family compound, or, perhaps, as a spiritual retreat. Each of the residences have been meticulously renovated, incorporating designer finishes and luxurious yet practical details. The grounds are truly one-of-a-kind, with thriving fruit trees, vibrant rose gardens, a towering bamboo forest and emerald lawns overlooking the coastline from Santa Barbara to the white water views of Carpinteria and beyond. The infrastructure has been thoughtfully designed and established, and includes underground utilities, commercial-grade generators, and a commercial-grade irrigation system. This enchanting ranch estate offers utmost privacy and tranquility, yet is conveniently located within minutes to Santa Barbara and Carpinteria as well as Summerland and Montecito.  The world-renowned Santa Barbara Polo Club & Racquet Club is close by, and Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, a short 15-20 minute drive, offers private and commercial aviation.
