About this home

Discover refined living at 40 El Cielito, a Mediterranean-inspired estate that seamlessly merges tranquility and sophistication on approximately 1.52 ± acres in Santa Barbara. Near the scenic trails of Parma Park within the exclusive El Cielito Estates, this gated residence offers both serene privacy and access to two tennis courts. A stately paver-lined driveway leads to this traditional Mediterranean-style home, where timeless charm and understated elegance await. The grand entrance opens into an expansive living room with high vaulted ceilings and terracotta tile floors, anchored by one of the home's two fireplaces - a perfect setting for intimate gatherings or elegant entertaining. With four spacious bedrooms, each featuring a private en-suite, the home ensures comfort and seclusion for family and guests alike. Embracing breathtaking views of the Santa Ynez Mountains, the estate offers two distinct patios: one with sweeping panoramic vistas over the landscaped grounds, and a more secluded patio off the living room, complete with an outdoor fireplace. An orchard graces the property, yielding an abundance of citrus-limes, lemons, grapefruits, oranges, and satsumas-alongside peaches and avocados, perfect for seasonal enjoyment. A rose garden near the kitchen and main patio enhances the home's natural beauty, while a vegetable garden with irrigation brings a delightful garden-to-table lifestyle to life. Blending natural beauty, privacy, and modern conveniences, 40 El Cielito is a remarkable retreat embodying the best of Santa Barbara living.

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

Include but are not limited to:

Agriculture
Livestock production
Garden center
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Housing-Senior
