Acquire and Develop:  The Majestic Tanbark Oak Ranch - Exclusivity, Splendor, Opportunity

Presenting a unique opportunity to acquire a 1/3 corporate stake in the revered Tanbark Oak Ranch, located on the back ridge Parcel 48. This offer includes complete rights to build the main residence on the property. T he estate is zoned as an Ag Preserve, providing tax advantages for the new owners.  A detailed master plan for this parcel is available for review.

The Tanbark Oak Ranch spans an impressive 114+ acres within the scenic "Long Canyon".  The ranch extends from the pinnacle of the "De La Cresta" ridge at 1400 feet, down through the valley.  The property houses a diverse range of natural features including a 58-acre Oak Woodland forest, an 11-acre section of Manzanita, open meadows, and numerous Tanbark Oak clusters. With the arrival of Spring, the north-facing slope next to the "Del Norte" road blooms with native wildflowers.  The creek in "Long Canyon" runs during the Winter and Spring seasons, offering a soothing soundtrack.

Parcel 48's north ridge provides stunning views spanning from Santa Barbara in the east to the offshore islands in the south.  This vantage point also offers a unique viewing spot to watch the rocket launches from the nearby Vandenberg Space Force Base to the north.

The ranch has approved development plans for a main residence and a guest house, expertly designed by the respected architect John D. Kelley from Santa Barbara.  Significant progress was made with the Santa Barbara County Planning and Development towards approval of these plans before 2022.

The property is equipped with two operational wells, with the primary well located next to a water tank and the secondary well sited below the planned development site.  There are also two drywells installed on the property, both with capacities exceeding the needs of the proposed development, ensuring ample water supply.

The proposed building site offers beautiful views of Santa Barbara to the east and the rolling hills, the ocean, and the islands to the south.  Located in the shelter of the ridge, the site is well-protected from the prevailing northwest winds, providing a calm and peaceful living environment.  Acquiring a stake in the Tanbark Oak Ranch offers a unique chance to own a piece of this peaceful paradise and enjoy a coastal ranch lifestyle.  This property is listed by Jeff Kruthers, Hollister Ranch Realty (photos by Hollister Ranch Realty).
