Built in 1924 by aviation pioneer Earle Ovington, Casa Loma is one of the earliest residences in the Samarkand Hills and an enduring expression of the neighborhood's origins. The estate brings together historical provenance, remarkable privacy, and a singular relationship to the landscape around it. Properties of this history and scale are seldom preserved with such integrity, making its arrival to market an exceptional offering. The house unfolds through a series of memorable moments: the arched entry beneath a mature tree, the original barrel-ceiling hallway, and rooms framed by black steel windows. The Santa Ynez Mountains appear throughout the home, their views still unobstructed because Ovington originally buried the neighborhood utilities for his private airstrip. A comprehensive renovation completed between 2020 and 2025 preserved the estate's soul while strengthening it for the future. Original hand-hewn beams, restored steel windows, 1920s stamped concrete floors, and old-growth redwood construction remain. These historic details are beautifully complemented by quarter-sawn oak flooring, custom steel French doors, rebuilt patios, and extensive structural, seismic, and systems improvements. The kitchen sits at the center of the estate, finished with custom cherry countertops, a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and a Thermador dishwasher. It opens naturally to the living and dining rooms, allowing each space to retain its own atmosphere while functioning together. The living room is anchored by an Eiklor gas fireplace and original beams, keeping the mountain views ever-present throughout. Outside, the property feels closer to a private park than a traditional backyard. Terraces, an expansive lawn, a sun-filled walled garden, a private oak grove, pool, spa, and pool house create distinct places to gather, dine, or simply listen to the fountain. A separate guest apartment adds flexibility for visitors, multigenerational living, or a future private wing. Positioned in the heart of Samarkand, the property enjoys close proximity to neighborhood cafs, restaurants, local markets, and everyday conveniences, all set among tree-lined streets that define one of Santa Barbara's most cherished residential neighborhoods. Casa Loma invites its next steward to carry forward the story of one of Santa Barbara's most distinguished original homes.

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.

Hidden between Downtown Santa Barbara and the ocean, on almost 3/4 acre at the end of a cul de sac, sits something genuinely rare. The moment you walk through the home and see the backyard, it stops you in your tracks. A sprawling oasis anchored by mature oak trees and wrapped in the kind of privacy that takes decades to grow into. The single-level home was remodeled in 2023, and the care taken shows in every room. Every surface, fixture, and finish was addressed as a cohesive whole. Vaulted ceilings and an easy flow between inside and out do the rest, leading naturally to a backyard that was made for long afternoons and good company. The kitchen is made for serious cooks and entertainers, outfitted with custom cabinetry, new countertops and appliances, a dedicated bar area, and a window that looks out over the backyard. The primary suite is spacious and well-appointed, with a beautifully finished ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard, so the morning routine can start outside if the mood strikes.The outdoor spaces have been designed with intention; distinct areas for dining, lounging, and wandering, all connected by a landscape that feels natural rather than manicured. It is, by any measure, extraordinary for this location. Citrus, apple, plum, apricot, pomegranate, and fig fill the mini orchard. Raised vegetable beds round out a backyard that genuinely earns the word oasis.For a property this private, the location is almost surprising. State Street, the Farmers Market, the beach, and the harbor are all within a few minutes; the kind of proximity that makes daily life genuinely easy. The sanctuary waiting at the end of the driveway, though, makes it easy to forget any of that is nearby.Land this size, this usable, this private, and this close to downtown Santa Barbara does not come available often. The owners called it home for 40 years. That says everything.
