Floating above the Pacific and grounded in stunning design, the next wave of Padaro Beach living has arrived. A statement of architectural artistry and coastal mastery, this groundbreaking beachfront estate commands approximately 100 feet of rare ocean frontage, capturing what are undeniably the most breathtaking views on Padaro Lane.
Where the sea, simplicity, and design speak louder than words, this 5-bedroom, 7-bath residence with a detached guest house, has been reimagined from the ground up by architect Don Nulty, Taylor and Langella Design, landscape architect James Hyatt, and D.D. Ford Construction.
Every detail serves the horizon: walls of glass dissolve into the blue, light shifts across sculptural lines, and each space moves in harmony with the rhythm of the waves.
A tranquil gathering space wrapped in light, the living room invites the ocean indoors.
Opening to expansive decks that trace the coastline, it’s a seamless extension of the outdoors, made for connection to the sea.
Anchored by a marble island and framed in simplicity, the kitchen balances modern restraint with warmth.
Designed for both cooking and conversation, it embodies coastal ease with an elevated edge.
Above it all, the primary suite feels suspended between sea and sky — a serene retreat with a spa bath, generous closets, and a terrace for sunrise reflections and starlit nights.
Ocean, island, and coastline views unfold like a living artwork, changing with every hour of the day.
Four additional ocean-view bedrooms, including a flexible family room, spill out to sunlit patios on the entry level, spaces made for relaxing, gathering, and savoring the coastal breeze.
The lower level invites leisure and connection with a theater, wine cellar, and gym, transforming the home into a destination for living beautifully.
The guest house offers its own quiet luxury, echoing the same architectural integrity with a full kitchen and bath, perfect for guests or extended stays.
Outdoors, landscape architect James Hyatt, known for his work at the world-renowned San Ysidro Ranch and Four Seasons, shaped the 0.29-acre grounds into a sculpted extension of the coast.
Layered terraces, native plantings, and meandering pathways flow to the sand, creating an effortless dialogue between architecture and nature.
Just beyond the sand, Santa Claus Lane hums with coastal charm, where mornings begin at The Garden Market, afternoons linger at Padaro Beach Grill, and the A-Frame surf shop and local galleries embody the effortless rhythm of beachside living.
Set directly on world-class Padaro Beach and moments from Montecito, the Polo Fields, and downtown Carpinteria, this is beachfront living redefined — where style and ocean converge in one singular expression of California luxury.
James Hyatt brings a sculptural, naturalistic approach to landscape design and is best known locally for leading the master planning and garden design at San Ysidro Ranch. His hospitality portfolio includes The Peninsula Beverly Hills (involved since the hotel’s original construction), The Umstead Hotel & Spa in North Carolina, Four Seasons Hualalai on the Big Island, Four Seasons Maui at Wailea, and Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore in Santa Barbara. Across these properties, Hyatt’s work emphasizes harmony between architecture and environment through layered textures, native plantings, and choreographed movement. At Padaro Beach, he translated the ocean’s cadence into terraces and paths that feel organic, elegant, and distinctly Californian.
