More Insights

Built in 1949 (77 years old).
Condition: Built in 1949, this property is well-maintained with stunning views and grounds, but the interior shows signs of being outdated. The visible bathroom (Image 23) features older wooden cabinetry, a dated countertop, and lighting, suggesting renovations from 15-30 years ago or older. The 'Virtually Enhanced' images for the kitchen and a primary bedroom indicate that significant modernization is needed to meet contemporary luxury standards, as also suggested by the description's 'opportunities for future vision'. While functional, the property requires substantial aesthetic updates to the kitchen and bathrooms.

Poised above the Pacific on approximately ±2.5 acres of bluff-top land, this Hope Ranch estate captures the essence of coastal California living wide-open ocean views, privacy, and a lifestyle defined by natural beauty. A gated drive winds through groves of avocado and lemon trees, leading to the residence. Behind the home, sweeping lawns stretch toward the bluff's edge, where the horizon opens to uninterrupted views of the ocean and islands beyond. Inside, vaulted beamed ceilings, a stone fireplace, and walls of glass framing the sea create a dramatic focal point, while spacious interiors are filled with natural light and designed to maximize the views from every room. The dining room opens effortlessly to the backyard, the kitchen includes a bright breakfast nook, and the upstairs primary suite enjoys a private perch with commanding vistas. A separate 1-bedroom guest quarters with its own kitchen, living room, and private entrance offers both independence and comfort for extended stays. Outdoors, the property embraces coastal living with a pool and patio, expansive lawns, fruit trees, and breezy palms that set the stage for relaxation or entertaining. From greenhouse to pathways to bluff's edge, every element is in place for a lifestyle that is immediately enjoyable yet also holds opportunities for future vision. Here, in one of Santa Barbara's most coveted enclaves, residents enjoy a beautiful beach, miles of equestrian trails, tennis courts, and close proximity to La Cumbre Country Club & Golf Course. Rarely does a property combine such an extraordinary setting with a residence that is ready to enjoy today, with the option to shape its next chapter tomorrow.
