Cathedral Vista Retreat - Fun in the Santa Barbara Foothills

This spacious property with pool and 1/2 basketball court is a perfect retreat for families. Enjoy a vibrant game of one-on-one, while the rest of the gang swims and splashes in the salt-water purified pool. The owner, with an environmentally conscious spirit, thoughtfully installed solar panels in late 2011. The outdoor fireplace with comfortable seating is a great place to enjoy a glass of wine while observing the backyard fun. From the same relaxing seating, watch majestic Cathedral Peak change colors as the sunset fades to twilight.
