The moment you walk through the home and see the backyard, it stops you in your tracks. A sprawling oasis anchored by mature oak trees and wrapped in the kind of privacy that takes decades to grow into. The single-level home was remodeled in 2023, and the care taken shows in every room. Vaulted ceilings and an easy flow between inside and out do the rest, leading naturally to a backyard that was made for long afternoons and good company. The kitchen is made for serious cooks and entertainers, outfitted with custom cabinetry, new countertops and appliances, a dedicated bar area, and a window that looks out over the backyard. The primary suite is spacious and well-appointed, with a beautifully finished ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard, so the morning routine can start outside if the mood strikes. The outdoor spaces have been designed with intention; distinct areas for dining, lounging, and wandering, all connected by a landscape that feels natural rather than manicured. Citrus, apple, plum, apricot, pomegranate, and fig fill the mini orchard. Raised vegetable beds round out a backyard that genuinely earns the word oasis. For a property this private, the location is almost surprising. State Street, the Farmers Market, the beach, and the harbor are all within a few minutes; the kind of proximity that makes daily life genuinely easy. The sanctuary waiting at the end of the driveway, though, makes it easy to forget any of that is nearby. Land this size, this usable, this private, and this close to downtown Santa Barbara does not come available often. The owners called it home for 40 years. That says everything.

Enveloped in layered foliage, meandering koi ponds, and tropical hardwoods, this 2,948-square-foot Santa Barbara home breathes a meditative calm from interior to garden. Set on 0.45 acres, the 3BD/2.5BA residence enjoys an elevated setting immersed in nature, with mountain views and leafy outlooks throughout. Bamboo groves, approximately 1,500 square feet of wraparound ipe wood decking, gentle falls over koi, and an imported Balinese tea house shape the garden. Inside, the foyer sets the tone: vaulted ceilings rise overhead, while an intricately carved floral mandala adorns a sliding wood door. Smooth grouted river stones underfoot lend an organic counterpoint; folding glass doors frame a lush composition of botanicals and landscape beyond. Natural texture continues to soften contempora through the interiors. In the circular great room, sleek cable lighting threads rough-hewn beams beneath tongue-and-groove ceilings, while engineered wide-plank oak floors carry that richness throughout. The chef's kitchen pairs Autunnale quartzite counters with painted oak cabinetry, a Wolf double oven, and Sub-Zero fridge, while a loft above forms an office perch looking out to the scenery. In the primary suite, a teak-floored shower and soaking tub overlook the landscape, with a hot tub tucked into the decking just beyond. The lower level offers two bedrooms and a full bath with its own private exterior entrance, creating an ideal setup for guest quarters or extended stays. River stone becomes a recurring motif--loose black pebbles encircle the bathtub, grouted mosaics floor both full baths, and they resurface as an accent across the grounds. Unexpected details emerge quietly throughout, from the blue-glazed ceramic tile roof etched with birds to carved woodwork and subtle hints of color. A discreet shed settles into the terrain, and the detached two-car garage, with an additional half bath, offers intriguing ADU potential. Situated in the highly regarded Foothill School attendance area and moments from Upper State Street, the property pairs a convenient location with a setting that feels worlds away.

Offered for the first time ever, this Bel Air Knolls residence has a story as special as its setting. Built in 1969, the home's original owner reportedly flew over the newly created hilltop subdivision and selected this particular parcel for its cul-de-sac location, privacy, ocean and hillside views. With wide, tree-lined streets, sidewalks, and generously sized homes, Bel Air Knolls was a sought-after neighborhood from its inception--and its appeal remains just as strong today. The location offers convenient access to downtown Santa Barbara, the Mesa, Hendry's Beach, and Elings Park. Around 2000, a second-story bedroom suite with a small kitchenette was added, creating a fourth bedroom and bath along with toe-curling vistas of the surrounding hills, Pacific Ocean, and Channel Islands. The private, ample rear yard is dotted with a variety of mature fruit trees, inviting leisurely mornings spent picking fresh fruit, sipping coffee, and gazing out to sea while contemplating just how good Santa Barbara living can be. Pleasantly livable as-is and rich with potential, this longtime family home is ready for its next owners to bring a fresh vision and usher it into its next chapter as a modern-day paradise.

A Bob Lee Original -- Reimagined for Today On a private road , this one-story estate unfolds across a flat ''acre'' where soaring, wood-trimmed ceilings, solid brick, and walls of glass dissolve the line between inside and out -- the architect's signature, and the reason his name still means something in this town. You feel it the moment you pass through the entry's heavy glass doors, greeted by an exclusive koi pond from Pacific Ponds and a canopy of 52 skylights overhead, newly fitted with UV-protectant glazing that lets the light in without the heat. Natural redwood ceilings and ¾-inch solid-oak, multi-length flooring carry that warmth through wide-open living spaces built for entertaining: a dining room anchored by a custom china hutch and window seating, flowing seamlessly into the living room, where the backyard becomes part of the view rather than something seen through it. The kitchen continues the conversation; expansive counters, quality appliances, a butler's niche tucked out of sight for guests, and a second, more casual dining area framed by heavy wood sliders. A floor-to-ceiling, two-way fireplace splits the kitchen from the family room without closing either one off, giving even a home this size a sense of gathered warmth. At one end, the bedroom wing offers real separation: a primary suite with a lovingly restored brick fireplace, tree-house-like wood ceilings, and a private patio holding a Marquis spa built for two -- the kind of spot made for a quiet drink at the end of the day, watching Camarillo's sunsets settle into the native plantings. Inside, an open-air walk-in shower, fresh flagstone, updated fixtures, a window-lit walk-in closet, and a separate water closet round out the Primaryspace. Down the hall, two oversized secondary bedrooms share deep closets and casement-window seating over the front garden -- one still holding the footprint of a former loft, large enough for a queen bed. A den currently serving as a media room could just as easily become a home office, with its own access to the yard. A fourth bedroom and guest bath sit apart from the rest -- near a separate guest or service bedroom with its own full bath, vintage tile, dual vanity, and skylight-lit ceilings -- giving visiting family or staff a wing entirely their own. Outside, tiered patios step down into gardens laced with crushed-granite paths, leading past fruit trees, a meditation garden, raised beds on drip irrigation, and a bubbling fountain beneath a flowering pergola. A Lynx BBQ and Italian pizza oven anchor an entertaining area covered in glass and warmed for year-round use. A 40-foot RV pad with clean-out, and room beyond the gate for more, rounds out the practical side of the property -- alongside a three-car garage with epoxy flooring, built-in cabinetry, and a dedicated workshop bay for the serious hobbyist. Beneath it all: a ventilated crawl space, whole-house water filtration, and a solar array with battery backup smart enough to keep the essentials running automatically - refrigerator, internet, and more - during an outage. The current owners report just one month this past year with an electric bill at all. This is a home built on ideas;light, nature, permanence, still holding up decades later, and quietly improved by owners who understood exactly what they had.
