About this home
Embraced by the majestic Santa Ynez Mountains this six-acre parcel offers a coveted combination of privacy, convenience, and breathtaking views at every turn. The secure entry gates of the exclusive Sycamore Creek Estates enclave open to reveal dazzling views of the sparkling Pacific and Channel Islands as well as dramatic mountain and canyon vistas. One of only nine parcels in this private estate compound, the property offers all the seclusion and tranquility of a rural retreat, yet is located just minutes away from the restaurants, shopping and beaches of Santa Barbara and Montecito. The jewel in the property's crown is its shared border with 200-acre Parma Park, creating exclusive gated access to miles of maintained hiking and equestrian trails. This spectacular site offers gated entry, two building envelopes, installed utilities, city water, and agricultural water, and all the potential to create an exquisite country estate. Rarely do opportunities of this caliber arise to create the ultimate Santa Barbara dream home.

Cielito, located between Mission Canyon and the Riviera, is a hillside and residential Santa Barbara neighborhood with winding lanes and canyon views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mission Canyon Road corridor near the Santa Barbara Mission, where trailheads, garden paths, and low-key cultural stops set the pace. Spanish Revival and mid-century homes sit on terraced lots, with mature oaks and stone retaining walls shaping the streetscape. The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and Old Mission Santa Barbara act as local anchors for walks and weekend routines. Nearby, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History adds a campus-like feel at the canyon edge. A short drive down the slope connects to State Street’s dining and galleries without changing the quiet, elevated atmosphere.
