About This Home

As of March 2025

Welcome to 999 Camino Del Retiro, a stunning single-level contemporary ranch-style home located in the highly desirable Rancho San Antonio neighborhood of Santa Barbara. This thoughtfully designed property offers 3 spacious bedrooms plus an office/den, 2.5 baths, and sits on just over an acre of land with ocean, island, and mountain views. The home is centered around a beautiful courtyard, providing abundant natural light and the seamless indoor-outdoor living experience that Santa Barbara is renowned for. At the heart of the home are the open, light-filled living areas. The living room features vaulted, beam ceilings, an elegant fireplace framed by built-in bookcases, and a smooth flow into the adjacent dining room—perfect for entertaining. The family room, equally inviting with its vaulted, beam ceilings and second fireplace, connects effortlessly to the chef's kitchen. The well-equipped kitchen boasts a newer range, oven and dishwasher, generous counter and storage space, a sizeable walk-in pantry, bar seating for four, and a cozy breakfast nook to help start your day.
Just off the kitchen and family room is a charming enclosed lanai-ideal for savoring your morning coffee or curling up with a good book.
The property also includes a versatile lower yard shaded by stately jacaranda trees, ready to be tailored to your lifestyle. Previously used as a chipping/putting green and horseshoe pit, this area offers endless possibilities. It can be transformed into something truly extraordinary or restored to its original purpose as a serene retreat surrounded by nature.
Don't miss the opportunity to call this exceptional property your home.
