Enjoy panoramic vistas from the principal residence building site on the mountain top of Parcel 48; the Tanbark Ranch.

Available is a 1/3 corporate interest in the Tanbark Oak Ranch on Parcel 48 including rights to develop the principal residence on the property. Ownership includes access to 8.5 miles of beautiful sandy beaches, miles of horseback riding trails and bike riding. Zoned Ag Preserve for lower taxes. Master plan for this parcel is available.

Tanbark Oak Ranch encompasses 114+ acres of “Long Canyon”, from the top of the “De La Cresta” ridge at 1400 feet of elevation, through the valley at 800 feet of elevation, to the top of the north ridge at over 1600 feet of elevation. The property is the 13th largest parcel on the Hollister Ranch. Within its boundaries are the magical 58-acre forest of Oak Woodlands, 11 acres of prized Manzanita, meadows and multiple stands of Tanbark Oak. During the Spring bloom, the north-facing slope adjacent to “Del Norte” road comes alive with native wildflowers. It’s a go-to place for Spring colors. The creek in “Long Canyon” flows Winter and Spring.

The area of the north ridge on parcel 48 includes a large meadow with spectacular views east to Santa Barbara, south over the Santa Barbara Channel and the offshore islands. There is a large stand of Tanbark Oaks and a secret viewing spot of the launch pads on Vandenberg Space Force Base to the north, from where you can witness initial ignition of rockets sent into space.

Tanbark Oak Ranch already has development plans (site/plot plans, floor plans and elevations) for a main residence and guesthouse, as well as associated surveys. The architect is John D. Kelley of Santa Barbara. Prior to 2022, then-parcel owners, architect and planning consultant had made significant progress with Santa Barbara County Planning and Development toward approval of the development plan.

The primary well is adjacent to a water tank. A second well is located below the development site, and two drywells have been installed with capacity exceeding the needs of the planned development, including 100% expansion already in place.

Views from the building site are spectacular and include east to Santa Barbara and south over the foothills of the Hollister Ranch, ocean and islands. The building site is placed in the lee of the ridge, protecting them from the prevailing northwest winds.
