Rarely available and cherished for generations, this single-level mid-century home sits on 1.80 flat, park-like acres in one of Santa Barbara's most coveted Riviera locations. Stunning mountain views frame grounds that feel like a private botanical sanctuary -- mature trees, lush gardens, a producing orchard, and meandering flagstone paths create an extraordinary sense of place. A sparkling pool and spa anchor the outdoor living space, and a detached studio offers endless possibilities. A true legacy property -- irreplaceable in its scale, serenity, and setting.

RS-1A
One-Family Residence Zone
This zone is intended to provide areas for single-unit housing on individual lots at appropriate low densities of one unit per legal lot with allowances for an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Two-Unit Residential Development when certain standards are met. Designators (e.g. -25, -15) refer to minimum lot size in thousands of square ft or, in the case of RS-1A, acres. The regulations for the RS Zone are intended to limit activities which would be inharmonious with or injurious to the preservation and character of a residential environment. Nonresidential uses are limited to those that support daily life of neighborhoods and complement surrounding residential development. Nonresidential uses are strictly limited in order to mitigate impacts associated with nonresidential uses such as: traffic, increased parking demand, light, glare, and noise.
Permitted uses
