Hope Ranch
Incorporated in 1924, the Hope Ranch Park Homes Association watches over this elite residential area filled with magnificent estates. This wonderful area has an abundance of lush and gently rolling hills hosting approximately 700 homes, most of them luxurious Hope Ranch estates with gorgeous landscaped grounds.
Many of these estates sit perched on these low hills that provide expansive views of both the Santa Ynez Mountains and The Pacific Ocean. Membership in the association is automatic upon purchasing a home and brings many privileges: the private beach, a polo field, tennis courts, a soccer field, and the advantages of the Hope Ranch Riding Trails Association. The riding association has laid out over 20 miles of riding trails traversing throughout the area, including access to the private Hope Ranch beach.
You enter Hope Ranch passing through the arched gate and under the infamous sign suspended across Las Palmas Drive. Planted in the early 1900s, towering palms line the main boulevard, Las Palmas Road. Wearing jodhpurs and shiny black boots, young girls on horseback gallop along a tree-lined trail. An early morning jogger circles serene Laguna Blanca Lake. A golfing foursome takes a private stroll at the La Cumbre Country Club with its wonderful course set around beautiful Laguna Blanca. The gentle hills provide a great venue to ride bikes with numerous viewing opportunities. Most homes have either ocean views or mountain views and almost all with great settings.
Santa Barbara and its world-class shopping, dining, cultural and recreational amenities are all within a few minutes drive.
Hope Ranch Real Estate values begin at around $ 2 Million and often exceed this amount fivefold, tenfold or more.

Dreaming of Ocean View Homes and Estates in the Santa Barbara and Montecito CA Areas!!
July 28th, 2008 Categories: Campanil Hill Neighborhood, Carpinteria, Hope Ranch, Luxury Real Estate, Mission Canyon Neighborhood, Montecito, Santa Barbara, Summerland, The Mesa Neighborhood, The Oceanfront Areas, The Riviera Neighborhood
Santa Barbara with OCEAN VIEWS!!!
Some of the most prized real estate to be found here in the Santa Barbara and Montecito areas is the abundant ocean and island view homes and estates that exist. With numerous hills and bluff tops throughout the town, the back drop of the Santa Ynez Mountains and the gorgeous coast line and local islands that stretch out to the horizon, it is no wonder that ocean view homes are extremely desirable in our area.
With so much varied terrain, I have tried to outline below the many options when looking for a property with an ocean view.
Montecito- Full of beauty, history and grandeur, Montecito, approximately eight square miles of hidden neighborhoods and expansive estates, has been the destination of choice for celebrities and millionaires for over one hundred years. Montecito offers an unhurried pace of life, breathtaking scenery and two very quaint shopping and dining “villages” that make locals feel that even the trip a few miles east to Santa Barbara is a small journey. Montecito has numerous hills but mainly slopes gently away from the ocean up towards our local mountains. Because of this gentle slope and the abundance of mature growth, I would estimate that 1 out of 5 homes in Montecito are ocean view homes where as most all homes have a wonderful private setting and views of the local Santa Ynez Mountains. Montecito Real Estate values range from $ 2 Million to $30 Million and above with ocean view homes starting at around $5 Million.
The Riviera- Bridging the two mile span which separates Mission and Sycamore Canyons, the sylvan uplift which the padres knew as the “mission ridge” has for the past 65 years been known as “The Riviera” due to its resemblance to slopes along the Mediterranean coasts of France and Italy. Probably 2 out of 3 homes on The Riviera boast wonderful coastline and island views. For many, this is one of the mos
t prominent locations when looking for a ocean view home. The Riviera Real Estate values range from $ 900,000 to $ 8 million, with ocean view homes and estates starting at around $ 1.5 Million.
Hope Ranch - This wonderful area has an abundance of lush and gently rolling hills hosting approximately 700 homes, most of them luxurious Hope Ranch estates with gorgeous landscaped grounds. Many of these estates sit perched on these low hills that provide expansive views of both the Santa Ynez Mountains and The Pacific Ocean. Hope Ranch Real Estate values range from $2.5 Million to $30 Million, with ocean view homes starting at around $5 Million.
Campanil Hill and Yankee Farm area- Located on the sea-cliff just outside the boundaries of Hope Ranch, Campanil Hill and Yankee Farm is a gorgeous private feeling neighborhood filled with larger homes and estates. Most of these homes have expansive views of the ocean and Channel Islands and sit on nicely landscaped parcels of .5 acre to 6 acre lots. The entire area is relatively small and sits on a gently sloped hill just outside the gates of Hope Ranch. The Campanil Hill and Yankee Farm Real Estate values range from $ 1.7 million to $ 6 Million, with ocean view homes starting at around $2.5 Million.
Summerland- Summerland is a rather relaxed, tiny, hillside community snuggled on the coast between Carpinteria and Montecito with breathtaking ocean and island views. Summerland Real Estate values range from $1 Million to $15 Million, with ocean view homes starting at around $1.3 Million.
The Santa Barbara and Goleta Foothills - The beautiful mountains that sit as our local backdrop stretching roughly 15 miles from Goleta to Santa Barbara have abundant view properties. Each canyon has its own distinct name and price range of homes, with many sitting on wonderful perches with ocean and island views. Real Estate values in The Foothills range from $1 Million to $8 Million, with ocean view homes starting at around $1.3 Million.
The Mesa - Half of The Mesa is relatively flat while the other half sits on a hillside (a smaller and less steep version of The Riviera neighborhood). Many view homes on The Mesa have dramatic prominent views of the ocean and islands because of the close proximity to the ocean. Real Estate values on The Mesa range from $900,000 to $6 Million, with ocean view homes starting at around $1.2 Million.
The Oceanfront- This pretty much goes without saying. The lucky few that live directly along the coastline and oceanfront here in the Santa Barbara area enjoy a gorgeous ocean front presence. Roughly half the oceanfront homes sit directly onto the sand while the other half sit on bluff tops ranging from roughly 20ft - 80ft above the beach. Oceanfront Real Estate values range from $3 Million to $35 Million.
