Description

This house is located within a nature preserve and a short walk from the Pacific Ocean beach and bluffs! It is an ideal location for a faculty or administrator’s family looking to be in the Santa Barbara area for fall 2026. UCSB has world-class programs in Marine Biology, Engineering, Physics, Film and Media Studies and more. The talented faculty community here is family friendly, and you will be welcomed and oriented to the area for schools and activities. The community enjoys a year-round heated swimming pool, hot tub, and gym as well as access to unparalleled Southern California beauty. We are an easy drive to Los Angeles for cultural activities there and a short flight to the Bay Area. The house is like new (built in 2015) and will be comfortably and aesthetically furnished with everything you need for working, cooking, and living the Southern California lifestyle. Our back patio gives you everyday access to an oasis. We are looking for a family of 3 or 4, a couple, or an individual who wants to be here and enjoy all of the academic, cultural, and outdoor amenities. It would be a great location for someone who needs a year to write as you have beautiful and inspiring surroundings and can stroll and reflect and find stimulating activities when you need a diversion. Downstairs is living room, dining area, and kitchen with center island, plus 1/2 bath. Upstairs is Master Bedroom with en-suite bathroom, and two other bedrooms and another full bath. The middle bedroom can also be a home office and has a desk and printer. Parking is included. We are offering the house at a rate well below the Santa Barbara market for the quality, size, and location of the home. We are looking for a colleague who will take good care of our home and enjoy it for the fall!
