About This Home
As of June 20255+ ACRE SANCTUARY IN THE MOUNTAINS OF SANTA BARBARA! For those seeking a private retreat overlooking the coastal mountains & southern coastline of Santa Barbara, we welcome you to 5693 W. Camino Cielo (Sky Vista Ranch). Connecting with nature is a breeze within this 5-acre sanctuary. Only fifteen minutes from the heart of town, this family compound embraces a versatility of living options. Supporting an alternative lifestyle amongst the warmth of the sandstone boulders, native Oak groves, towering Douglas Fir forest, seasonal creeks, fresh artesian-well drinking water and outstanding ocean and mountain views. Upper Land (1.5 Acres +/-): Custom 3/2 eco-ranch home recently upgraded with a new solar system, air-conditioning, attached studio w/separate entrance, spacious sunroom, 1,200 +/- sqft steel construction barn/workshop, RV carport, fruit trees, vegetable gardens and an abundance of level land ideal for storage, horses and much more. Resting upon a sacred sandstone perch, the spacious outdoor entertainment area is a highlight of this flexible property. The current owners have hosted many star-lit, fire side celebrations and oak shaded picnic gatherings throughout the years.
Lower Land (3.8 acres +/-) Meander down, drowning out human sound and contact, as you're treated to a special hideaway from the busy world. Stroll the nature paths, tune into the abundant wildlife, meditate in the naturally carved sandstone caves and soak up the knowledge of the ancients within the amphitheater of the valley walls. A distinct microclimate, the lower section of the property boasts 2 seasonal creeks, a Douglas Fir forest, lichen covered sandstone boulders & valley walls along with a vast array of native plant specimens.
One of the greatest features of this amazing opportunity is the private water company (only 7 owners) supported by a 690 foot deep artesian well pumping up to 100 GPM of some of the best mineral drinking water on the mountain.
A perfect property for those dreaming of a mountain sanctuary to build family, create community, facilitate workshops and/or healing retreats. Alternatively or simultaneously, the property may be utilized for agricultural purposes: mini-farm, organic gardens or equestrian/farm animal retreat (Buyer to verify). Enjoy the conveniences of the Santa Barbara lifestyle, World-Class Beaches and the Santa Ynez Valley all within a short drive away. Located within the highly acclaimed Mountain View Elementary School District.
