About This Home

The most significant and endearing Hope Ranch property is now available for the first time in 47 years. Sitting at the end of a cul-de-sac on a panoramic view top knoll, the beloved Potter House overlooks Las Palmas Valley and Laguna Blanca Lake with magnificent views of the Santa Ynez Mountain Range. Rich in provenance and rooted in Santa Barbara community history, the estate was the first property in Hope Ranch and was originally developed as the Potter Country Club in 1907. The club was later transformed into a residence cherished by distinguished families throughout the years. This is a rare opportunity to be the next owner of a true legacy property. The private setting, majestic views and heartwarming charm are just some of the reasons you'll fall in love with this storybook estate.
