813 Romero Canyon Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93108
What's special
Set on approximately 5.51 acres in one of Montecito's most coveted enclaves, this architecturally significant estate offers exceptional privacy, tranquility, and convenience, with sweeping ocean, coastline, Channel Island, and mountain views from nearly every room. Designed by renowned architect Jan Hochhauser with interiors by New York designer Barbara Hauben Ross, the residence draws inspiration from the understated elegance of the world's finest resort destinations while remaining distinctly Montecito. The five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom home is defined by clean contemporary architecture, remarkable scale, and a seamless connection to its surroundings. Expansive walls of glass frame the ever-changing coastal vistas, while thoughtfully designed living spaces flow effortlessly between indoors and out. A dramatic 20-foot floating entry door crafted from marble and Birdseye maple sets the tone for the level of craftsmanship found throughout, complemented by radiant heated floors, designer stone finishes, and a refined material palette. The main level is anchored by a private primary suite featuring a fireplace, sitting room, generous walk-in closet, spa-inspired bath, and captivating garden and coastline views. Three additional guest suites, each with en-suite baths, a view-filled living room, and an elegant library/great room complete the primary living spaces. Upstairs, a versatile studio with full bath opens to a private rooftop terrace, while the lower level includes a billiard room, wine cellar, and laundry facilities. The grounds are equally compelling, offering an ocean-view infinity pool and spa, state-of-the-art AstroTurf tennis court, koi pond, mature fruit orchards, and multiple terraces and outdoor entertaining areas woven throughout the landscape. A robust private well supports the property's extensive irrigation and landscape needs. Tucked quietly off a private road and located within the highly regarded Montecito Union School District, the estate enjoys close proximity to the Upper Village, renowned beaches, and some of the area's most celebrated hiking trails. A rare offering where architecture, setting, and privacy converge on one of Montecito's most remarkable view properties.
