Perched at the bottom of a long private driveway in the hills of The Riviera, this exquisitely designed Spanish residence is the epitome of true Santa Barbara-inspired architecture, against breathtaking jetliner vistas of the Pacific Ocean & city. Boasting jaw dropping views from almost every room, this beautifully designed home was constructed in 2014 with the utmost attention to detail & craftsmanship throughout, with materials that include venetian plaster walls, & custom iron work. The dramatic formal entry showcases double height ceilings, and flows seamlessly into the public areas - featuring an abundance of natural light throughout. Relax & unwind in the living room, with a bespoke stone fireplace, & beautiful french doors that open to a private terrace with pool & ocean views. The formal dining room offers the perfect space to entertain on all scales, with easy access to the gourmet chef's kitchen featuring professional grade appliances, Carrera marble countertops, walk-in pantry and oversized island with breakfast bar. The primary suite is a true retreat with a private balcony, beautiful fireplace, spa-like bathroom with soaking tub, dual vanity, and walk-in closet. Three additional suite-like bedrooms include a junior primary, and all feature views of the ocean or verdant landscaped grounds. Additional highlights include a temperature controlled 300 bottle wine cellar, TV room, and game room that opens to the terrace. No expense was spared in the private back yard - a true entertainer's paradise, complete with a sparkling swimmers pool and spa, ocean view veranda, firepit and outdoor kitchen complete with pizza oven and bar. This is a rare opportunity to own an exquisite Spanish home featuring breathtaking views, just minutes from the best shops, restaurants, and entertainment Santa Barbara has to offer.

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
