An Upper Rivera family compound lovingly maintained by the same family for over 3 decades is ready for new stewardship. Roland Sauter, a prominent local Architect known for designing many local landmarks including Santa Barbara High & City Hall, designed this property as his personal residence. This stunning acre parcel retains much of its original landscaping & has 2 structures gracing the property. Enter the front 2 bedroom residence via a circular motor court which has 2 separate 1 bedroom residences & a 2 car garage, all of which could be converted back to a single family home. The rear duplex has 2 handsome 1 bedroom units above 6 carports & is nicely separated from the main house. All of this on one of most sought after Rivera addresses & just a stones' throw to the El Encanto Hotel
