About this home
An ocean view estate where timeless elegance meets the beauty of California's coast, set on 2.46 acres in one of Hope Ranch's most prestigious locations. Originally designed by renowned architect Barry Berkus, this breathtaking contemporary residence has been extensively renovated and thoughtfully modernized. The exterior façade features stone finishes, antique wood pillar columns, and custom glass doors that frame sweeping views of the Pacific the moment you arrive. Inside, light and space flow effortlessly throughout the open layout, connecting the family room, kitchen, and dining room for easy living and memorable entertaining. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece--anchored by a 16' x 6.5' zinc-wrapped island and appointed with a La Cornue range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, three ovens, three sinks, and a walk-in pantry. A pass-through window opens to the ocean view terrace with dual barbecue stations and a covered dining area. Elegant architectural details, arched passages, sliding wrought-iron and glass barn doors, and folding glass walls, enhance the home's seamless connection to its surroundings. The main level also showcases a dramatic two-story mahogany library with an office and ocean view terrace, a one bedroom one bath guest suite, as well as the primary suite. The primary bedroom opens to a private patio with a spa, outdoor shower, and features a Venetian plaster fireplace + sitting area, and two walk-in closets. An intimate sanctuary for refined coastal living. Upstairs, three ensuite bedrooms each enjoy their own Juliet balconies with ocean views, complemented by a flexible space for a play area or upstairs den. The finished lower level extends the home's luxurious appeal, featuring a theater, wine cellar and tasting space, gym, and full bath. Outdoors, the property unfolds in layers of leisure and beauty: a sparkling pool with lounge seating, two spas, an infinity-edge fountain, and resurfaced tennis court with basketball hoops, all surrounded by artfully designed landscaping and elegant lighting that highlight the estate's natural setting. Smart home integration includes Sonos audio, Nest climate systems, Advantage lighting, and a state-of-the-art security suite. Two 2-car garages and an additional climate-controlled flex garage space complete the offering.
As the day comes to a close, the estate is bathed in majestic sunset light casting deep golden tones across the gardens, terraces, and ocean beyond. It's a daily spectacle that transforms the property into something almost ethereal, where the meeting of sky and sea mirrors the home's perfect balance of timeless beauty and modern luxury. This extraordinary estate embodies the best of Santa Barbara's coastal living. As part of the exclusive Hope Ranch community, residents enjoy access to miles of equestrian trails, gated beach access with picnic areas, a playground, and surfboard storage, and 24-hour community patrol. Move right in and live the dream....
