Housing Wanted - Small, ADU, Cottage, Tiny House, Yurt, Converted structure, etc. Within ~45 mins of Goleta/Santa Barbara
I am a mother currently looking for a suitable, small home for myself and my two children, ages 7 and 3 to establish an independent household. My children are enrolled in a local school and will live with me during half of each week.
I am open to exploring creative housing possibilities - perhaps you are in the process of converting an unfinished structure, or have an available ADU? Maybe you have extra land and would be open to a tiny house arrangement?
I’m looking for:
A 1-year+ arrangement, with a move-in date targeted for December 2026 or January 2027
A separate space with its own bathroom and cooking space (detached structure preferred)
~400-800 square feet (small amount of space for outdoor storage of bikes and some work materials preferred)
I am comfortable learning your off-grid setup
I am open to a traditional rent structure or work trade, or some combination (farm work, gardening, light home maintenance, landscaping)
Can be in an urban setting, or something more rural or remote
Safe access road (during all seasons) required
About me:
