About this home

Enjoy peaceful mountain living in this 2 bed 1 bath single level Painted Cave cottage. Bathed in natural sunlight, this home offers serene greenbelt and mountain views. The open floor plan allows for ideal living. The kitchen features a 1950's vintage gas stove and in the dining room you'll find a cozy wood-burning stove. The converted garage makes for a wonderful bonus room - good for many uses; study den, play space, hobby room, artist or musician's retreat... you name it. Grow your own vegetables in the raised-bed gardens and enjoy the many fruit producing plants on the property; apple tree, persimmon, grapes and goji berries. The flat lot allows for easy off-street RV-boat parking. Located in the coveted Mountain View School and La Colina Junior High attendance areas - this special home is ready for a new owner after 20 years of enjoyment! The Painted Cave community consists of approximately 100 homes. It was established in the 1950's and was named after the proximity to the Chumash Painted Cave State Historic Park, preserving the sandstone rock art of the Chumash people. It is a quiet and tranquil, mountain community, and is only a few minutes drive to downtown Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez.
