Set along scenic Sycamore Canyon Road, this nearly 0.8-acre property offers a rare combination of Santa Barbara lifestyle, privacy, and income potential. In addition to the main residence, a detached studio ADU provides an exceptional opportunity for supplemental income, with potential rental income of up to approximately 4,000 per month. The seller is being flooded with inquiries for mid/long term rentals. For qualified buyers and certain loan programs, eligible ADU rental income may be considered by a lender and could potentially translate to roughly 400,000 in additional purchasing power--making this property as financially compelling as it is unique. While the location provides effortless access to town, the home itself feels remarkably peaceful. Nestled among mature trees with a seasonal creek winding through the property, the sounds of nature take center stage, with only the occasional passing car heard beyond the creek. Inside the home, the quiet setting creates a true sense of retreat, and the generous driveway provides ample space to comfortably turn around on the property before exiting. Just five minutes from downtown Santa Barbara and seven minutes from the beach, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the convenience of city living with the feeling of a private rural escape. Surrounded by towering trees and lush canyon landscape, the property offers a lifestyle that's increasingly difficult to find so close to town. The main residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,559 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space with granite countertops, tile flooring, dual-pane windows, air conditioning, and a spacious sunroom that invites the outdoors in. An expansive wraparound deck creates the perfect setting for entertaining, morning coffee, or relaxing beneath the stars, while a fire pit, pergola, and flourishing orchard of avocado, lemon, orange, peach, plum, and apple trees complete the exceptional outdoor experience. The detached studio ADU features a full bathroom, kitchen, laundry, mini-split heating and cooling, and EV charging capability, offering tremendous flexibility as an income-producing rental, guest quarters, extended-family space, or private home office. Combined, the property offers approximately 1,959 square feet of living space with a total of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Thoughtfully upgraded for modern living, recent improvements include a new roof, a 9.2 kW solar system with 23 panels, LG backup battery storage, upgraded electrical panels, exterior paint, a security camera system, new fencing, and a certified engineered perimeter foundation. Rarely does a property combine usable acreage, canyon serenity, sustainable living, significant income potential, and such close proximity to Santa Barbara's vibrant downtown and coastline. This is more than a home--it's a private retreat offering the tranquility of country living, the convenience of the city, and the potential financial advantage of an income-producing ADU.

Set among the gently rolling hills of unincorporated Somis, this rare 37.76-acre ranch property offers a unique blend of natural beauty, agricultural opportunity, and country lifestyle. Framed by mature trees, open skies, and panoramic vistas, the property includes an avocado grove, a farmhouse/barndominium-style residence, and endless possibilities for creating a truly special legacy estate. Formerly known as ''The Oasis Ranch'', the property once operated as a respected horse breeding, training, showing, and trail-riding ranch. Its wide-open spaces, peaceful setting, and scenic terrain still reflect the character and charm of its equestrian roots. As you explore the property, it's easy to imagine horses grazing in the pastures, riding trails winding through the hillsides, and the quiet rhythm of country living just minutes from town. The original owners envisioned building their dream home on the ranch's spectacular upper plateau -- a breathtaking potential homesite positioned to capture sweeping views across the ranch, neighboring orchards, and the surrounding Ventura County countryside. From sunrise over the hills to golden sunsets stretching across the valley, this elevated setting offers an extraordinary opportunity to create a custom estate that fully embraces the beauty of its surroundings. Whether your vision includes a modern farmhouse, luxury ranch retreat, equestrian compound, or multi-generational family estate, the property provides an inspiring canvas for something truly exceptional. Ultimately, the owners chose to transform the original barn into the farmhouse-style residence that stands today. The home features a spacious great room, loft, office, guest room and utility room, offering comfortable living spaces while leaving room for future updates, expansion, or reimagination. The property presents a true blank canvas for renovation or redevelopment tailored to your own vision and lifestyle. For buyers seeking flexibility, the opportunities here are extensive. Continue operating the avocado grove while designing a private country retreat. Restore the residence back to its original barn use and build a new custom home on the upper plateau. Create an equestrian property with room for horses, barns, arenas, and riding trails. Establish a boutique agricultural venture, family compound, weekend retreat, event venue or long-term investment property in one of Ventura County's most desirable rural communities. Adding to the property's appeal are two separate entrances off Balcom Canyon Road, providing convenience and versatility for agricultural operations, guests, recreational vehicles, or future expansion. With no HOA restrictions, owners have the freedom to fully embrace authentic country living while still enjoying close proximity to Camarillo, Moorpark, Ojai and coastal Ventura. Rarely does a property combine scenic beauty, usable acreage, agricultural income potential, privacy, and future development possibilities in such a compelling setting. Whether you are an investor, builder, equestrian enthusiast, or someone dreaming of a private ranch lifestyle surrounded by nature, this exceptional Somis property offers the space, character, and opportunity to bring that vision to life.
