Quiet Ocean-View Cabin + Hot Tub • 20 acres
Quiet Ocean-View Cabin + Hot Tub • 20 acres
Description
Wake up to ocean views and birdsong in a secluded mid-century cabin set within 20 acres of oak forest. Just 90 miles from Los Angeles, in the hills above Summerland, this peaceful retreat offers a rare balance: total immersion in nature with easy access to Montecito, Santa Barbara, and the beach. Unwind on the expansive deck at sunset, soak in the hot tub under the stars with ocean views, or hike through nearby horse ranches down to Loon Point Beach — where you might see migrating whales. The space THE SPACE: The cabin’s open mid-century design frames sweeping views of rolling hills and the Pacific across three levels. Main Level • Living room with vaulted ceilings + built-in window benches • Wood-burning stove + smart TV • Fully equipped kitchen with service bar • Ocean-view deck with dining + lounge seating • Patio heater + outdoor blankets • Bathroom with walk-in shower Upper Level • Primary bedroom with queen bed • Ensuite bathroom • Large picture window with ocean views Lower Level • Second bedroom with two queen beds • Sitting area with trundle daybed • Laundry + half bath • Private deck with hot tub + BBQ OUTDOOR EXPERIENCE Set within a private 20-acre oak forest, the property offers a rare sense of seclusion and connection to nature — while still being just minutes from the coast. • Miles of nearby hiking + horse trails • Easy access to dog-friendly beaches • Wildlife sightings (deer, owls, more) • Expansive sunsets + stargazing • Hot tub with unobstructed views LOCATION Feels secluded — but you’re just minutes from everything. • 5 min – Summerland shops + cafés • 10 min – Montecito + Carpinteria • 15 min – Santa Barbara & the Funk Zone • ~1 mile – Loon Point Beach Guest access Guest have full and private access to the cabin and surrounding exterior property (excluding the barn and the Avion trailer). Other things to note The cabin was built in 1973, when the property was an avocado and lemon orchard. Over time, nature has reclaimed the land, and it’s now a densely forested 20-acre setting that feels wonderfully remote — somewhere between a mountain cabin/hunting lodge and a coastal retreat. The landscape attracts a surprising amount of wildlife, and we’re gradually clearing space for future walking trails. The driveway is a ¼-mile dirt road that slopes gently up to the cabin. It’s usually in good condition, though it can get rough during rainy periods. Driving slowly (5 mph) is important — both for safety, as horses and riders share the entrance, and to minimize dust. An SUV or AWD is recommended for peace of mind, though most vehicles make it up without issue. Very low-clearance cars may prefer to park near the entrance and ride up with others. ⸻ Recommended HIKE (~3–4 miles): Ask me for directions — but a favorite local loop takes you from the nearby trailhead down past the polo fields, through Loon Point beach, and up into the charming town of Summerland. Highlights include: • Ocean views at Loon Point • Coffee, food, and browsing along Summerland’s main street • Stops like Field & Fort and Godmothers • The peaceful garden at A Sacred Space It’s an easy, scenic way to experience the area — with plenty of spots to rest, explore, and return to later.
