Positioned along one of the most iconic view corridors in Santa Barbara, this is a rare opportunity two romantic 1920s villas on the Riviera. Set across 1.37± acres of meandering gardens, private patios, and ocean-facing terraces, this soulful compound offers breathtaking views from sunrise to sunset - spanning the city, coastline, harbor, and islands beyond. Lovingly restored with intention and artistry, each villa is steeped in character and charm. Original stonework, red-tile roofs, hand-painted tiles, and vintage ironwork nod to the past, while updated kitchens, curated finishes, and thoughtful touches bring effortless livability into the present. The main house opens to a dramatic living room with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, a carved stone fireplace, and expansive views that feel cinematic in scale. A marble - clad kitchen and sun-drenched bedroom suite flow seamlessly to a romantic terrace - ideal for morning coffee or golden hour gatherings. The second villa echoes the same sense of style and serenity, offering a private retreat for guests or a potential income opportunity. Winding stone paths connect a series of lush outdoor spaces - secret seating areas, a view-drenched pergola, and gardens designed for reflection and restoration. The result is a transportive sense of place - one that feels worlds away yet sits just minutes from the energy of downtown Santa Barbara. Since purchasing the property, the Sellers have made significant fire hardening and aesthetic upgrades to the property. Improvements include extensive land clearing for fire hardening, new drainage and irrigation systems, rebuilt stone walls, upgraded electrical systems, and the addition of security lighting, cameras, and a water conditioning system. The grounds now feature newly designed gardens with hundreds of lavender plants and succulents, two refreshed fountains, and regraded landscaping. Both casitas have been fully repainted and repaired, and updates have been made to appliances and the driveway. This is a rare, one of a kind offering.

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
