At the end of a private drive, this Santa Barbara-inspired Spanish retreat reveals itself against sweeping vistas of Boney Mountain and the Santa Monica Mountains. A dramatic lion fountain marks your arrival, hinting at the artistry found throughout.Set on over an acre with neighbors on only one side and open space in front, the property offers privacy and perspective. Nearly 3,700 square feet unfold with warmth and intention. Designed for the ease of single-story living, subtle level transitions add dimension and create a natural rhythm between gathering spaces and private retreats.Striking murals adorn the exterior of the home as focal works of art, each telling its own story. A bronze statue of Diana the Huntress, an ox cart yoke repurposed as the living room mantle, and a didgeridoo reimagined as a banister rail add depth and individuality, creating a home that feels curated rather than constructed.The kitchen anchors the living spaces with a 36 inch Wolf six-burner range, Thermador warming oven, built-in refrigerator, and a full-height wine refrigerator with capacity for 60 bottles. An oversized granite island, breakfast nook, dedicated workstation, extensive storage, and wood beam ceilings add warmth and functionality. The double-sided fireplace defines the expansive living and family rooms, creating two distinct yet seamlessly connected spaces equally suited for entertaining and everyday living.The primary suite captures sweeping vistas and features an oversized walk-in closet. On the opposite wing, a spacious bedroom with its own ensuite bath offers privacy for guests or extended living. Down a separate hallway, two additional bedrooms, one currently an office with custom built-ins, share a generous Jack-and-Jill bath, with a guest powder room nearby.Outdoors, mountain views stretch across the horizon, with sunsets that paint the sky in remarkable color. A dipping pool and spa, outdoor kitchen beneath a brand-new pergola, stone fireplace, and a five-hole putting green create an environment made for gathering. Along the edge of the property, a nature walking path leads to a quiet overlook, a place to pause and reflect.Just off the kitchen, a generous light-filled laundry room with a wall of cabinetry offers direct garage access and a separate exterior entrance from the driveway. An attached one-car garage and a separate over-sized two-car garage with ADU potential add flexibility.Some homes are admired. This one is experienced.
