The story
Wake to the sun spilling over the Santa Ynez Mountains, and end the day watching it sink into the Pacific behind the Channel Islands. On Gibraltar Road, this private retreat looks out over the entire Santa Barbara coastline, the glittering city below, and the islands floating on the ocean horizon. Every day the view puts on a new show, from morning fog lifting off the harbor to evenings when the city lights glow under a sky streaked with color. Upstairs, a newly built European tile deck with custom cable railing opens through French doors from the living room and primary bedroom, integrating the panorama into every moment. Downstairs the view is just as stunning from the refreshed terrace. The home is freshly updated throughout, with European Oak floors, marble and quartz kitchens, and renewed baths. The 22-acre property also offers a 250-tree avocado & fruit orchard, a 3-car garage, fire department hardening approval, a potential second home site, and a downstairs ADU currently in the permitting process. Both levels in this home can be enjoyed as separate entrance, single-level living spaces, or combined for a total of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. This home offers versatility, incredible views, and plenty of room to grow - all within a 12 minute drive from the Mission.
