Known as the "American Riviera" due to its geography and similar climate and appearance to that of the French and Italian Rivieras, Santa Barbara is one of the most beautiful oceanside enclaves in the country. A gardener’s paradise and beach lover-surfer’s dream location, Santa Barbara is beautiful and expensive. Home prices are about twice as much as other California towns, comparable to San Francisco home costs. The city has been a popular home for people in the film industry and was the original home of Lockheed Aircraft.

Located on one of the widest and longest sections of beach along Santa Barbara’s Gold Coast is this contemporary beach home. Beautifully angled to capture the most dramatic views over the sand and ocean, the views get even better with a sliver of the mainland jutting out into the ocean just north of the home, adding twinkling lights to nighttime views.

Entering by way of a gated long private drive shaded by huge eucalyptus, oak and cypress trees and understory landscaping, the new clay tennis court is set just beyond the trees. All white with crisp lines throughout, it flows softly with strategically placed walls making doors unnecessary but still creating private areas. This is architecture that frames stunning scenes from its windows and with wall space that will also spotlight large works of art accented by fine minimalist furnishings. Encompassing 5,979 square feet, the main house has a large open great room, a wing with two bedrooms and baths and large master suite with private balcony and two fireplaces. It has a chef’s kitchen, office and a dining room overlooking the entertainment deck and ocean. There is also a separate 800 square foot guest house with a courtside living room, a room with four bunk beds, kitchen and two baths. The home was completed in 2008.
