San Ysidro Ranch

San Ysidro Ranch sits on San Ysidro Lane in Montecito. It is a twenty-minute walk from the Montecito Country Mart and provides a secluded, forested backdrop that feels miles away from the nearby coastline.

Most visitors to this part of the coast seek the immediate proximity of the sand, but this property chooses the foothills instead. It is a twenty-five-minute walk from Butterfly Beach, a distance that keeps it sheltered from the heavy foot traffic of the shore. Opting for the ranch means trading the open horizon for the quiet of a private canyon. While it lacks the direct surf access of its neighbours, the stillness of the landscape makes the trade worthwhile for those looking to escape the bustle of the beach towns.
