EQ UESTRI AN & RAN C H STYLE LIVIN G As you traverse the property’s expansive terrain, the potential of an equestrian utopia unfolds. Vast pastures, currently used as lemon and avocado orchards, are an idyllic haven for horses.

The lots within Rancho Monte Alegre are treated as being Williamson Act properties (yielding considerable property tax savings) without the restrictions on land use and transfer/sale that typically accompany Williamson Act properties. Additionally, Rancho Monte Alegre encompasses several thousand acres of private-access conservation land, resulting from an agreement with Santa Barbara County and the Santa Barbara Land Trust.

The property also features a high-producing well and all utilities (high-speed internet, natural gas, electricity, cable, and phone) have been undergrounded to each structure.

PROPOSED STRUCTURE

EXISTING STRUCTURE

Agreed upon development plan with Santa Barbara Planning Commission, Santa Barbara Historic Commission and Board of Architectural Review allows for the development of a contemporary primary residence while preserving/rehabilitating the historic working ranch compound.

Agreement allows for the creation of over 33,000 square feet +/- of total development (buildings, barns, patios/hardscapes, etc.) across the 21 acre +/parcel in return for preservation of the historic ranch compound. Development can be downsized from what has been agreed to with County. Negotiations to allow this development have taken 12 years and significant investment, and likely could not be recreated today. Buyer will benefit from the ability to begin construction essentially immediately (plan is
