Your dream of a sweeping ocean view home on the highly desirable American Riviera of Santa Barbara can now come true. On one of the most coveted streets in the Upper Riviera on Dover Road, sits a double lot with an elevated building pad. This location high on the hill maximizes the breathtaking ocean, Channel Island, harbor and city views, which affords incredible privacy at the same time. The entire back of the property is bordered by Franceschi Park which adds to the spaciousness, solitude and allure of this incredible site. This oversized 0.82± acre parcel invites you to create your dream estate while immediately enjoying the existing classic rectangular pool! The former home was a local gem know as The Slavin House designed by renowned architect Richard Neutra in the 1950s. It was tragically destroyed by a fire in 2021, but miraculously, the original plans survived. A new design by local firm Flynn Architects has adapted and expanded the original Neutra concept, bringing the 1950s mid-century design into the modern era, while paying homage to the original design. With desirable features such an open floor plan, luxury primary suite, private guest wing, expansive modern kitchen and indoor/outdoor flow of space, the new design creatively captures 7,555 sf of interior space, and an expansive 3,500 sf roof deck and roof lounge with incredible ocean and city views. The architect, Joseph Flynn, AIA has received project design approval from the City of Santa Barbara Architectural Review Board and is available to continue the active permit application through to completion.

RS-15
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
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Livestock production
Garden center
