About This Home
Positioned along one of the most iconic view corridors in Santa Barbara, this is a rare opportunity two romantic 1920s villas on the Riviera. Set across 1.37± acres of meandering gardens, private patios, and ocean-facing terraces, this soulful compound offers breathtaking views from sunrise to sunset - spanning the city, coastline, harbor, and islands beyond. Lovingly restored with intention and artistry, each villa is steeped in character and charm. Original stonework, red-tile roofs, hand-painted tiles, and vintage ironwork nod to the past, while updated kitchens, curated finishes, and thoughtful touches bring effortless livability into the present. The main house opens to a dramatic living room with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, a carved stone fireplace, and expansive views that feel cinematic in scale. A marble - clad kitchen and sun-drenched bedroom suite flow seamlessly to a romantic terrace - ideal for morning coffee or golden hour gatherings. The second villa echoes the same sense of style and serenity, offering a private retreat for guests or a potential income opportunity.
Winding stone paths connect a series of lush outdoor spaces - secret seating areas, a view-drenched pergola, and gardens designed for reflection and restoration. The result is a transportive sense of place - one that feels worlds away yet sits just minutes from the energy of downtown Santa Barbara.
Since purchasing the property, the Sellers have made significant fire hardening and aesthetic upgrades to the property. Improvements include extensive land clearing for fire hardening, new drainage and irrigation systems, rebuilt stone walls, upgraded electrical systems, and the addition of security lighting, cameras, and a water conditioning system. The grounds now feature newly designed gardens with hundreds of lavender plants and succulents, two refreshed fountains, and regraded landscaping. Both casitas have been fully repainted and repaired, and updates have been made to appliances and the driveway.
This is a rare, one of a kind offering.
