Incredible 1-ac estate site with unobstructed ocean & island views, w/ all utilities at site & conceptual building plans available for proposed 3000+ SqFt single level home. Very private location, down a long driveway w/ mature trees shielding property from neighbors. Located in Roosevelt School District, just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. Possible seller financing for the right buyer. This lot has a prime location just a short distance from some of the most popular local destinations Santa Barbara has to offer. Two miles to the Santa Barbara Mission, four miles to the heart of downtown at Paseo Nuevo, and 4.5 miles to East Beach. And for the outdoor enthusiast, there are a myriad of opportunities close by including the Santa Barbara Tennis Club for swimming and tennis, and several parks and trails for hiking, cycling, and even hang-gliding. With very little land available in Santa Barbara, this property presents a unique opportunity to create a spectacular custom estate or spec home that provides a rural, secluded feel, while remaining close to Santa Barbara's attractions!

RS-1A

One-Family Residence Zone

This zone is intended to provide areas for single-unit housing on individual lots at appropriate low densities of one unit per legal lot with allowances for an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Two-Unit Residential Development when certain standards are met. Designators (e.g. -25, -15) refer to minimum lot size in thousands of square ft or, in the case of RS-1A, acres. The regulations for the RS Zone are intended to limit activities which would be inharmonious with or injurious to the preservation and character of a residential environment. Nonresidential uses are limited to those that support daily life of neighborhoods and complement surrounding residential development. Nonresidential uses are strictly limited in order to mitigate impacts associated with nonresidential uses such as: traffic, increased parking demand, light, glare, and noise.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Agriculture
Livestock production
Garden center
Housing-Group
