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.

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.
