    What's special

    NEW PRICE! Tucked into the hillside of Santa Barbara's coveted Las Canoas/El Cielito neighborhood, this custom-built Mediterranean residence has been cherished by the same owners for decades. Built in 1997 and thoughtfully oriented to capture sweeping views of the Santa Ynez Mountains, the ocean, and Channel Islands, the home reflects a deep appreciation for both craftsmanship and nature. A gated entrance leads to a private, oak-studded acre where mature trees and established, natural vegetation create a sense of serene arrival. Inside, high ceilings and generously scaled rooms offer a sense of elegance, volume and proportion that is increasingly rare. An array of windows and doors seamlessly connect to the... ...surrounding landscaping. Multiple living areas provide flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, or multigenerational living. The well-appointed kitchen features a center island, walk-in pantry, and views across the pool toward La Cumbre Peak. The generous primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a sitting area and balcony. A separate guest suite with its own entrance and kitchenette adds versatility for extended stays or hosting with ease. Outdoors, the lifestyle fully unfolds - a sun-filled pool patio surrounded by panoramic mountain views creates a natural backdrop for long afternoons and effortless entertaining. Beyond the property, Las Canoas offers an exceptional connection to nature: cyclists depart from Gibraltar Road, and Parma Park trails are moments away. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully designed, this is a home defined by space, privacy, and possibility - ready for its next chapter.
