Description
Welcome to 3978 Laguna Blanca Drive, an exceptional and expansive estate set on approximately 1.23 acres in the heart of the prestigious Hope Ranch community of Santa Barbara. On the market for the first time in 50 years, this substantial residence offers approximately 8,735 square feet of living space with 12 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms, providing remarkable flexibility for grand-scale living, multi-generational households, guest accommodations, or estate-style entertaining. Privately positioned behind mature landscaping, the property offers a rare combination of scale, privacy, and presence within one of the Central Coast’s most coveted neighborhoods.

Built in 1970, the home is defined by generous proportions, abundant natural light, and a flowing floor plan designed to accommodate both everyday living and large gatherings. Multiple fireplaces and expansive living areas create warmth and comfort, while the layout allows for seamless indoor-outdoor connection and significant opportunity for customization or modernization. The size and configuration of the residence lend themselves to a wide range of uses, including home offices, wellness spaces, creative studios, or private guest suites.

The grounds unfold as a private retreat, featuring a sweeping motor court, mature trees, open lawn areas, and a swimming pool framed by garden and patio spaces ideal for outdoor dining, relaxation, and recreation. The acreage provides ample room for enhanced outdoor living or future estate-level improvements while maintaining a strong sense of seclusion.

Hope Ranch offers a lifestyle unmatched in Santa Barbara, with approximately 22 miles of equestrian and walking trails, a private beach with lifeguards and kayak storage, tennis courts, and 24-hour neighborhood security. All of this is just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara, the coast, La Cumbre Country Club, shopping, dining, and cultural amenities. 3978 Laguna Blanca Drive presents a rare opportunity to acquire a legacy-scale property in an iconic coastal enclave, offering enduring value, privacy, and exceptional potential.
