5651 West Camino Cielo

Two residences on 6.29± acres, on the ridge above Santa Barbara.

The house

Above the city, among the oaks and the stone

Completed in 2011, the main residence was built around the vertical rock outcroppings of the ridge, and its glass walls open to the Pacific, the Channel Islands and the lights of the city below. A second residence stands apart in a quiet, pastoral corner, with ocean views of its own. Private trails wind under native oaks and between stone monoliths. There is an ocean-view pool, an outdoor fireplace on the terrace and an orchard of citrus, fruit and avocado trees.

Living spaces

Living room, dining area and kitchen behind glass walls that open to the coast, with the office off the living room.
