About this home

Perched gracefully atop a lush, one-acre oasis this beautifully renovated ranch-style home in La Mirada Estates in Carpinteria, California, blends coastal charm with complete privacy and tranquility. Mountains rise up behind the property, while natural, terraced gardens cascade downward, opening to sweeping views of the sparkling Pacific Ocean and the Channel Islands. Inside, the home feels bright and airy, with light hardwood floors flowing through three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a dedicated office. The chef's kitchen - fully updated and equipped with premium appliances - connects seamlessly to a cozy dining area, while an additional room serves perfectly as a formal dining space, art studio or creative retreat. A spacious workshop, once a double garage, with a half bath, sits separately on the property and may present exciting development potential. On the lower portion of the land, a thriving orchard produces edible and delicious fruits, including citrus, Santa Rosa plums, Hachiya persimmons, passion fruit, pineapple guava, blackberries, and figs, a selection of herbs, and seasonal veggies in raised planting beds- with plenty of space to expand your personal garden paradise. Surrounded by mature native oak trees, a small seasonal creek, and nourished by nature in every direction, this exceptional property offers peaceful seclusion and enchanting views from nearly every window. It is a truly magical retreat, where serenity and natural beauty come together in perfect harmony.
