About This Home

As of January 2025

Imagine a village, a patchwork of stone-walled buildings, all perched on a windswept promontory. Envision rugged hillsides all around, and distantly, below, the lifting fog and sea. That was the Santa Barbara Riviera when this timeless property was built. And now, the hallmarks of that distant time have been carefully preserved within this beautiful craftsman home & guest house with ocean views. Every inch meticulously updated with modern amenities, systems & upgrades; an oasis at the epicenter of the Riviera's most desired locations. Within reach of Orpet Park and the El Encanto Hotel, it's mere minutes to Downtown & the Mission. Hidden behind mature trees & lovingly restored for the next generation, this property's warmth, architecture & style beckon to a bygone era, calling you home.
