Hidden Valley
“The Shangri-La of Santa Barbara”
2665 San Marcos Pass Road (Hwy 154)
Santa Barbara, CA 93105
Once a bustling old stage coach stop along the mountain road traversing from Santa Ynez to Santa Barbara, California, this gated private mountain retreat on 63 acres is elevated above the City of Santa Barbara and has stunning Pacific Ocean and Channel Island views.
A historic main lodge, 2-bedroom guest house, year-round running stream with thundering waterfalls and natural swimming holes are only a few of the amazing features of this property. Easily accessible, Hidden Valley is located just 15 minutes to culturally-rich Santa Barbara, with its white sand beaches, convenient airport, a wide assortment of restaurants and antique shopping.
If you love enchanted forests with the feel of the East and the romance of Europe, this incredible property offers you a chance to live your dream. Never has a property held such promise as these two contiguous parcels, each of them a beautiful potential building site in its own right.
The land has been lovingly manicured with miles of walkways, masonry stone walls and rock terraces gracing the sun-drenched rocky promenades and deep lush canyons offering stunning views of the ocean and city from an oasis rare in this typically arid community. Thousands of old oaks, huge boulders, many covered with rich moss, and lush vegetation rise amid the rushing water in this pristine mountain environment.
Following meandering stone paths through colors and shades of magnificent landscaping, you come upon splashing waterfalls as they cascade one pool into the next, filled with trout, over ferns and cool moss-bound rock. It is the dreamlike setting of the grounds of a botanical garden. As you take the paths along cliffs shrouded in the quiet shade of great trees, sudden, breathtaking views of Santa Barbara and the Pacific appear in warm splashes of light.
More than a century later, this property has regained the quiet of its ancestral mountain location, offering a haven of refuge to all of its guests. The beauty of Hidden Valley is really all about you and your life. It is the kind of sanctuary that holy people seek, the kind of vision artists paint, and a one-of-a-kind magical environment that few people ever get to experience.
