About This Home

As of March 2025

Experience the pinnacle of modern architecture with 845 Sea Ranch Drive, Santa Barbara's most exciting new home. Completed in late 2024 and never occupied, this residence boasts a harmonious blend of cutting-edge design, world-class craftsmanship, and breathtaking natural surroundings.

Designed by the renowned Warner Group Architects and featured in the prestigious 2024 AIA ArchitecTour of New Homes, this architectural masterpiece captivates and inspires at every turn. Seamlessly blending form and function, the design harmonizes with the surrounding environment, creating fluid transitions and unobstructed views between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Spanning over 7,000 square feet, the home features materials, furnishings, and fixtures meticulously sourced. from around the globe, including Pietra Serena stone flooring quarried near Florence, Italy; German white oak flooring hand-finished by Italian craftsmen in Milan; and a bespoke window and door system designed in Portugal, assembled in Los Angeles, and glazed with premium American-made panes. Natural stone countertops and wall panels sourced from around the world lend timeless sophistication.

Perched on a commanding ocean-view lot, the home offers breathtaking vistas that feel close enough to touch. Discreet from the street, the property's beauty unfolds to its owners and guests. Over 1,400 square feet of covered and heated outdoor living areas, a resort-style pool and spa, and seven ancient olive treesspanning over 1,000 years of history, create a tranquil, luxurious retreat.

The primary living space and primary suite effortlessly blend indoor and outdoor living, featuring telescoping, custom-designed Otima Sliders and end-to-end electrochromic Sage Glass skylights that adapt to the sun or offer complete blackout.

The expertly designed floor plan ensures seamless functionality and privacy, with all four bedrooms and main living areas on one level:

· Primary Suite. Features two ensuite bathrooms, two spacious closets, a cozy fireplace, access to a private office, and stunning ocean views that stretch to the horizon. Steps away from the pool and spa, it epitomizes tranquility and elegance.
· Guest Suites. Equal in size, each suite offers panoramic ocean and island views, elegantly appointed bathrooms, and private balcony access.
Additional living spaces include a state-of-the-art gym, a media room (or potential fifth bedroom), and an indoor infrared sauna. The 896-square-foot, three-car garage boasts lift-height ceilings and EV charging stations in every bay.

The home's cutting-edge technology includes:

· Seven HVAC zones with programmable air-to-air fresh air exchangers.
· Savant home automation and a full-property sound system.
· Comprehensive water filtration with R/O and dual Life Source Catalytic Conditioners.
· A solar array meeting the property's energy needs, complemented by a backup generator.
· State-of-the-art security system, ensuring peace of mind.
To ensure consistency with future expansion, the property's mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are pre-engineered for a proposed Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). Materials, including stone flooring, lighting, hardware, and some countertop stone, have already been purchased and stored for the ADU, aligning it seamlessly with the primary residence.
Offered mostly furnished and exquisitely decorated, 845 Sea Ranch Drive is truly in a league of its own, presenting a rare opportunity to embrace the California dream in a brand-new, move-in-ready luxury residence.
