Property Description
Welcome to Skye Oak, a vintage, one-of-a-kind home tucked away in historic Mission Canyon-just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara. Skye Oak is a soulful sanctuary surrounded by 1.66 acres of nature at its finest. A long private drive set back off Foothill Road winds uphill past birds of paradise and sentinel palms, arriving at a serene setting framed by mature oaks. Architecturally, the home blends early California adobe style with later additions. The main home 3b/2.5ba + an office features Spanish tile floors, steel casement windows, and a light-filled parlor anchored with a small library extension and a raised-hearth fireplace, the heart of the home and a natural gathering space. Down the hall, a spacious den added in 1985 offers soaring ceilings, pine finishes, hardwood floors, and a dramatic river-stone fireplace. A separate dining room, converted from the original garage, is an intimate atmosphere ideal for candlelit dinners and celebrations. The main home also offers a large primary bedroom with a private viewing deck and ensuite bath, an upstairs office, and artist-designed murals. A charming 1b/1ba 700 square foot casita provides additional living space, featuring a cozy log-cabin interior and a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The grounds are equally spectacular, with multiple sitting areas that offer canyon views, outdoor dining areas, along with a stone firepit area for evenings under the stars. The property also includes a detached three-car garage and equestrian amenities, with easy access to nearby riding trails and neighborhood parks. Offered for the first time in 46 years, Skye Oak has been deeply loved and thoughtfully lived in, ready for its next chapter.
