A rare Lower Riviera opportunity, this property brings together three separate residences, city views, and the kind of 1920s character that gives the property a real sense of place. It is not a polished, finished product, and that is part of the opportunity. For the right buyer, this is an opportunity to take a property with real character, views, and flexibility and bring out its full potential in one of Santa Barbara's most desirable neighborhoods. 1830 Loma, the front residence, is the largest of the three homes and offers a spacious two-bedroom layout with an office, separate dining room and dedicated laundry. A generous living room opens to a large deck with city views, giving the home a great sense of space and connection to the setting. The proportions and original character provide a great starting point for a thoughtful renovation. Set farther into the property, 1828 Loma is comprised of two separate two-bedroom residences, each with its own kitchen and living areas. The homes have individual layouts and added spaces including a sunroom, sitting room, patio and in-unit laundry. Together, they offer flexibility for rental income, extended family, guests or an owner-user looking for multiple living spaces on one property. The real value here is in the combination of location, views, character and potential. With three separate residences and the ability to meaningfully improve the homes and surrounding spaces, this is an opportunity to create a truly unique Lower Riviera property that would be difficult to replicate today.

Tucked beneath old oaks on a quiet Mission Canyon street, this home was rebuilt down to the studs, with wide-plank French oak floors, vaulted ceilings, and ocean and island views from virtually every public space and the primary suite. Step through the Dutch door into an open kitchen, dining, and living room beneath timber-beam ceilings. Marble wraps the island, custom white cabinetry lines the walls, and a farmhouse sink sits beneath steel-framed windows overlooking the garden. Pull back the accordion glass wall and the flagstone patio becomes part of the living space--fireplace lit, table set, with the ocean and islands beyond and the mountains rising behind. The primary suite sits apart, opening onto a private backyard patio and taking in the same ocean and island views. Exposed beams carry through the bedroom, while the bath features a freestanding soaking tub, hex marble floors, and a window framed in green. Nothing here was left untouched--new electrical, plumbing and HVAC, tankless water heater, updated insulation, new roof and copper gutters--the kind of work that doesn't show up in photographs but means everything for the years ahead.

A newly constructed 5,000± square foot residence set on approximately one acre in Montecito, bringing together striking modern architecture and one of the world's most rigorous building science standards. The result is a home that feels every bit as luxurious as it is remarkably comfortable. The moment you step outside, the setting announces itself. The main living space and 4 bedrooms (including primary) are on the main level. A 650± square foot floating deck extends from the living room through expansive NanaWall glass doors, creating a seamless connection to the resort-style pool and beautifully landscaped grounds. Just beyond, nearly an acre of privacy unfolds, all within an easy walk of Butterfly Beach, Coast Village Road's restaurants, boutiques and cafés. Above it all, a spectacular 1,500± square foot rooftop terrace with a covered outdoor kitchen creates an unforgettable setting for entertaining guests with ocean and mountain views. Conceptually designed by acclaimed Santa Barbara architect Jeff Shelton, the home reveals a more restrained expression of his work. Clean lines, generous expanses of glass and carefully balanced proportions allow the surrounding landscape to become part of the architecture itself. Forested views, abundant natural light and glimpses of the ocean are framed like works of art, blurring the boundary between indoors and out. Behind its elegant simplicity lies an extraordinary level of engineering. Base Architecture and Design developed the home's Passive House detailing, following the exacting standards established by Phius (Passive House Institute US), North America's leading passive building certification. A continuous, highly insulated building envelope minimizes thermal bridging, while an exceptionally airtight shell works in concert with a Zehnder whole-house fresh air system that continuously delivers filtered outdoor air, recovers heat and moisture, and quietly maintains exceptional indoor comfort. High-performance glazing manages solar heat gain, and carefully engineered moisture control protects the structure for decades to come. Throughout the home, an integrated air quality monitoring system continuously tracks temperature, humidity, VOCs, radon and airborne particulates, providing real-time insight into the environment inside. The result is a home that remains exceptionally quiet, healthy and energy efficient in every season. The outdoor spaces are equally well considered. A 50-foot pool and spa sit just steps from the home and are managed by an advanced Hayward automation system with remote monitoring, automatic water leveling and a discreet electric pool cover. Sonos audio extends throughout the pool and garden areas, while an eco-conscious three-zone irrigation system minimizes water use without compromising the beauty of the landscape. The home's technology is equally impressive. An 8.8kW solar array offsets much of the home's energy demand, with infrastructure already in place for future battery storage. Three EV charging stations, a Samsung HVAC system, Lutron Caséta lighting controls, enterprise-grade Ubiquiti WiFi, dedicated low-voltage networking, comprehensive security system, and a private elevator are seamlessly integrated into daily living. In the kitchen, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances complete a space designed for both serious cooking and effortless entertaining. Casa Pasiva represents a rare convergence of architecture, sustainability and technology. Beautifully designed, meticulously engineered and thoughtfully executed, it offers a level of comfort, efficiency and performance seldom found in luxury residential construction. Combined with its exceptional Montecito location and walkability to Butterfly Beach and Coast Village Road, it stands as one of the area's most compelling new residences.

4 Beds 8 Baths Hope Ranch BLDG.
A Modern Masterpiece. Along a tranquil ridgeline in Hope Ranch, the land opens in three directions - the Santa Ynez Mountains to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south, and natural Hope Ranch setting below. One roofline runs the length of the site. Below it, glass - the landscape held on every side. Designed by DesignARC and completed in 2023, the residence reinterprets midcentury modern principles in glass, stone, and steel - clean geometry, measured proportion, every line held to the same discipline. A U-shaped plan wraps a central courtyard and lap pool. Broad overhangs and clerestory glazing carry light deep into the interior. Corners disappear where the glass meets. In the great room, thirty feet of pocketing doors slide fully away, and the distinction between inside and out stops holding. Inside, the material palette is simple and consistent. Travertine runs from the courtyard walls to a full-height fireplace in the great room and again in the primary suite, laid in long horizontal courses that echo the roofline. White oak floors throughout. Venetian plaster and inset reveals set the rhythm. Clerestory windows carry a band of light above the room and hold the palm canopy in view. A gallery corridor runs the length of the plan, glass to the courtyard on one side, stone on the other, art along its length, ending in a wall of warm wood. It links the public rooms to the private wing and does the work of a gallery on the way. The kitchen opens to the great room beneath the same clerestory band. Elsewhere the house turns quieter and darker -- a den, a powder room -- proof that restraint isn't the only register available to it. Outside, a timber pergola on steel posts extends the roofline into a covered terrace, where a travertine fire table faces the tree line. The landscape, by Nicole Greer of CJM::LA, answers the architecture rather than decorating it -- sculptural olives, sandstone boulders, native grasses, structure without ornament. In the courtyard, a mature Canary Island date palm stands free in the gravel. The lap pool and spa sit level with the terrace, side by side. Built by Leonard Unander Associates and styled by KB Kim of Langoworks - 1045 Via Tranquila is a Santa Barbara house in the older sense of the term: sited first, built second, and quiet throughout.
