After living (renting a small guest house) in Hope Ranch-Santa Barbara for the last 18 months my wife and I will be moving this Thursday to the Pine Mountain Club area:http://www.pinemountainclub.net/
we found a 3800 sq ft home built in 2006 for $1650/month, unreal! We have a year lease and if we like the area we may purchase, prices and fallen at least 50%. So I will let you know how life is like up in the mountains.
