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.

Set at the oceanfront edge of Hope Ranch, the residence known as Vera Villa holds one of the more uninterrupted coastal frontages in the area -- roughly 170 feet of shoreline across 2.5 acres, where the Pacific defines the property from first light through dusk. Whales pass offshore and dolphins move through the surf, and the water carries its shifting moods into the home throughout the day. A gated entry opens to grounds planted with an orchard of varied fruit, the approach unfolding past the trees toward the south-facing villa beyond. The residence comprises just over 4,700 square feet under roof, its orientation composed to draw the coastline inward and to live as much with the ocean as beside it. Once a gathering place where an earlier generation of Hollywood marked the close of the day, the home now holds a rare opening for its next chapter. The grounds are arranged for a life lived outdoors as much as in -- room for horses, a tennis court, a pool pavilion, or another vision entirely, each held within the same expansive frontage and southern exposure. Positioned along one of Hope Ranch's few true oceanfront parcels, Vera Villa is a rare opportunity to reimagine an estate at the edge of the continent.
