The upscale Foxenwood neighborhood is popular with buyers due to its location, which is directly adjacent to Old Orcutt, and its proximity to Vandenberg AFB (15 minute drive to the main gate). The location of the development is off the beaten path, yet close enough to enjoy the amenities of downtown Orcutt. The Foxenwood neighborhood is bordered by other prestige areas such as Lorraine Estates, Deerfield Estates, and the new developement of Old Mill.
The entire Santa Maria area has been severely impacted by the foreclosure crisis. Here and there, opportunities to obtain luxury and executive homes at foreclosure prices arise.
Rice Ranch is a master planned commmunity of new homes and condos in Orcutt California. On Labor Day, I visited the models at Rice Ranch in nearby Orcutt, California. Rice Ranch is a master planned community which will have new single family homes, high end condominiums, and a 26 acre sports complex and community park. The Orcutt California community will have over 300 acres of preserved open space. After viewing the master planned community, “Summerlin,” in Las Vegas over the Labor Day weekend, I was sold on the concept of a master planned community and curious to see how Rice Ranch was turning out.
