SUMMARY
Set on nearly 16 ocean view acres in the peaceful foothills of Carpinteria, Villa Calafia is a rare 1930s estate by esteemed architect Gordon B. Kaufmann, AIA, known for Greystone Mansion and the Los Angeles Times Building. This Tuscan-inspired retreat reflects the scale and elegance of California's architectural heritage. The 4-bedroom main residence showcases arched thresholds, balanced proportions, and Mediterranean refinement, framed by sweeping ocean views. Three independent two-story guest residences, each with living room and kitchen, provide flexible private accommodations. The grounds include a tennis court, equestrian facilities, eight-car covered parking, citrus and avocado groves, and space for a pool or gardens. Minutes to Montecito and Santa Barbara, yet worlds away from LA.

Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
This 1930s historic estate is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready. The kitchen has been updated with high-end stainless steel appliances, professional-grade ranges, and stone countertops. While the property retains its original architectural character, the interior finishes, including the flooring and bathrooms, show minimal wear and tear. It does not qualify as 'excellent' because it lacks a full contemporary renovation within the last five years, but it remains in superior condition for its age.
