Several other inviting, relaxing, and intimate spaces in which to enjoy sunrise cappuccinos and croissants are wonderful surprises throughout this unique property. The 12 x 20 x 10 custom-built chicken coop provides an equally beautiful home for feathered and pampered friends. An enclosed dog kennel also provides a home for four-legged family pets. Adjacent to the chicken coop is a 10 x 12 shed offering additional outdoor storage or other uses.

Satisfy your daily vitamin C requirements by picking oranges, clementines, and lemons from the fruitful trees. Lush vegetation abounds -- plants, flowers, and trees attract many melodic birds. Several large outdoor areas offer the potential to add a pool, guest house, and enclosed area for little ones and pets, alike.

Foothill, located between Mission Canyon and Goleta, is a residential and academic Santa Barbara neighborhood with mountain-view streets and a campus-edge energy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Foothill Road at the UC Santa Barbara–Santa Barbara City College Wake Campus, where bike traffic, coffee counters, and low-key study spots set the daily rhythm. Architectural cues lean toward mid-century ranch homes, Spanish Revival touches, and apartment clusters tucked into mature landscaping. The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and nearby trailheads pull the landscape into everyday routines. Local pillars like Handlebar Coffee Roasters, Chaucer’s Books, and the Granada Theatre anchor culture and craft beyond the hillside streets. Evenings read quieter, with sunset light on the Santa Ynez Mountains and a steady hum from State Street a short drive away.
