Description

Through private gates, across a custom bridge, and up a secluded drive, this estate reveals a rare Santa Barbara Spanish sanctuary set on approximately 1.45 lush acres in one of the area's most private canyon settings. Custom built and thoughtfully enhanced, this exceptional estate offers nearly 6, 000 square feet of refined living space across a main residence, pool house, studio, and poolside cantina, designed for both everyday comfort and elevated entertaining. A dramatic tower-style entry introduces the home, immediately setting the tone with soaring volume, hand-crafted details, and timeless Spanish-inspired architecture throughout. Arched doorways, stone accents, and carefully curated materials evoke the warmth and romance of classic mission estates while offering modern livability. At the heart of the home is the chef's kitchen, featuring custom solid walnut cabinetry, quartzite slab countertops with a waterfall island, Newport Brass fixtures, and hand-painted Walker Zanger tile. The kitchen opens seamlessly to the family room, creating a natural flow for indoor-outdoor living and gathering. Formal living and dining spaces add flexibility and elegance, while multiple fireplaces throughout the home provide warmth and ambiance. The primary suite on the main level serves as a peaceful retreat, with French doors opening to a private garden patio. Additional guest suites are generously sized and complemented by spa-inspired bathrooms showcasing custom stone, artisan tile, and refined fixtures. Flexible living spaces, including a media/game room and studio, offer versatility for guests, creative pursuits, or work-from-home living. Both the studio and pool house feature full bathrooms and may also be flexed as additional detached guest bedrooms. The resort-style grounds are truly exceptional. Meandering paths wind through mature landscaping and over 250 avocado, citrus, and fruit trees, creating a tranquil, park-like setting. A pool and spa are anchored by a charming pool house and outdoor cantina/bar, complete with a half bath and outdoor shower, while multiple patios invite relaxation and entertaining amid the natural beauty of Sycamore Canyon. A custom spiral staircase leads toward the creek below, enhancing the estate's connection to its surroundings. Extensive infrastructure and design enhancements elevate the property further, including engineered structural elements, steel-supported outdoor areas, custom ironwork, Steve Handelman lighting, copper rain gutters, and spa-like design details throughout, underscoring the craftsmanship and permanence of the estate. Completing the offering is a detached three-car garage with adjacent studio space and a setting that feels worlds away, yet remains just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara, Montecito, and the coast. Private, peaceful, and undeniably special, 1493 Sycamore Canyon Road offers a rare opportunity to own a true Santa Barbara sanctuary, where timeless Spanish design meets modern luxury in an irreplaceable natural setting.
