Where the mountains meet the sea is on full display at this Hope Ranch masterpiece. A magnificent 3.7-acre bluff-top estate with 204’ of ocean frontage is the awe-inspiring setting for this striking contemporary compound overflowing with visual and sensory appeal at every turn. Combining both sophisticated architectural and landscape designs, the result is a residence of incredible luxury, comfort, ease, and elegance. Designed by the Warner Group of Montecito, the architectural integrity of this sleek and innovative estate is without peer.
Subtle and nuanced, the design and staggering attention to detail is astounding. This state of the art, fully-automated 5 bedroom residence enjoys expansive living spaces with walls of glass that disappear into concealed pockets and open to panoramic ocean views. The sprawling oceanfront lawns and gardens are crisscrossed with paved terraces, gravel pathways, a bluff side fire pit, succulents, and century-old olives bringing romance, surprise and beauty throughout the grounds and offering multiple spaces for spirited entertaining or quiet reflection.
With no detail overlooked, the residence is complete with an open kitchen/family room, a fully-equipped bar, and a large auxiliary prep and catering kitchen. The spacious glass-walled rotunda off the kitchen overlooking the pool terrace is perfect for everyday dining.
Upstairs is a master suite without equal – an oceanfront gym, bedroom, and office are linked through the spa-like bath and large terrace providing privacy, luxury and relaxation. There is even a private staircase rising to a third-floor Japanese soaking tub. The other three oversized guest bedrooms each have balconies and ensuite baths. Guests can find further accommodations in the downstairs guest suite or the recently constructed 3 bedroom detached guest unit. The two-sided unit offers a sophisticated industrial-style 2-bedroom, 1-bath guest house with a full kitchen and living room, and an adjacent ultra-chic studio apartment, both with towering ceilings, a neutral color palette and crisp lines.
Additional amenities include:
•A state-of-the-art multi-tiered home theater
•three in-wall saltwater aquariums
•A North/South Tennis court
•Rose gardens
•A fruit orchard
•Chef’s vegetable garden and greenhouse.
A private path and new staircase descend from the lawn to the pristine white sands of Arroyo Burro beach. This is one of the few bluff-top residences in Southern California with a private staircase to the beach. This landmark home will provide a refuge of elegance and beauty that will be a continued source of pleasure and pride. 4305 Marina Drive takes its just place among the architectural gems of Santa Barbara.
