Rancho del Ciervo (the Ranch of the Stag) is a neighborhood nestled in the foothills near Santa Barbara, CA. The 176 lots were created in 1961 from the original “Rancho del Ciervo”; most of the homes were completed by 1970.

Two main ridges bound the neighborhood on the east and west, with Fremont Creek running down the canyon in between.

The neighborhood lies off of North Patterson Avenue, in unincorporated Santa Barbara County. Mountain View Elementary School serves this neighborhood.

Just to the north is the remainder of the “original” Rancho del Ciervo, a 500-acre commercial orchard.
