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.

Welcome to Casa Pasiva! A newly constructed 5,000± square foot residence set on approximately one acre in Montecito, bringing together striking modern architecture and one of the world's most rigorous building science standards. The result is a home that feels every bit as luxurious as it is remarkably comfortable. The moment you step outside, the setting announces itself. The main living space and 4 bedrooms (including primary) are on the main level. A 650± square foot floating deck extends from the living room through expansive NanaWall glass doors, creating a seamless connection to the resort-style pool and beautifully landscaped grounds. Just beyond, nearly an acre of privacy unfolds, all within an easy walk of Butterfly Beach, Coast Village Road's restaurants, boutiques and cafés. Above it all, a spectacular 1,500± square foot rooftop terrace with a covered outdoor kitchen creates an unforgettable setting for entertaining guests with ocean and mountain views. Conceptually designed by acclaimed Santa Barbara architect Jeff Shelton, the home reveals a more restrained expression of his work. Clean lines, generous expanses of glass and carefully balanced proportions allow the surrounding landscape to become part of the architecture itself. Forested views, abundant natural light and glimpses of the ocean are framed like works of art, blurring the boundary between indoors and out. Behind its elegant simplicity lies an extraordinary level of engineering. Base Architecture and Design developed the home's Passive House detailing, following the exacting standards established by Phius (Passive House Institute US), North America's leading passive building certification. A continuous, highly insulated building envelope minimizes thermal bridging, while an exceptionally airtight shell works in concert with a Zehnder whole-house fresh air system that continuously delivers filtered outdoor air, recovers heat and moisture, and quietly maintains exceptional indoor comfort. High-performance glazing manages solar heat gain, and carefully engineered moisture control protects the structure for decades to come. Throughout the home, an integrated air quality monitoring system continuously tracks temperature, humidity, VOCs, radon and airborne particulates, providing real-time insight into the environment inside. The result is a home that remains exceptionally quiet, healthy and energy efficient in every season. The outdoor spaces are equally well considered. A 50-foot pool and spa sit just steps from the home and are managed by an advanced Hayward automation system with remote monitoring, automatic water leveling and a discreet electric pool cover. Sonos audio extends throughout the pool and garden areas, while an eco-conscious three-zone irrigation system minimizes water use without compromising the beauty of the landscape. The home's technology is equally impressive. An 8.8kW solar array offsets much of the home's energy demand, with infrastructure already in place for future battery storage. Three EV charging stations, a Samsung HVAC system, Lutron Caséta lighting controls, enterprise-grade Ubiquiti WiFi, dedicated low-voltage networking, comprehensive security system, and a private elevator are seamlessly integrated into daily living. In the kitchen, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances complete a space designed for both serious cooking and effortless entertaining. Casa Pasiva represents a rare convergence of architecture, sustainability and technology. Beautifully designed, meticulously engineered and thoughtfully executed, it offers a level of comfort, efficiency and performance seldom found in luxury residential construction. Combined with its exceptional Montecito location and walkability to Butterfly Beach and Coast Village Road, it stands as one of the area's most compelling new residences.

6565 Sabado Tarde is a two-building, 19-unit student housing asset just over a block away from the UC Santa Barbara campus and one block from the beach, the two factors that drive leasing velocity and rent premiums in Isla Vista. The property offers 55 beds across 30 bedrooms in a mix of thirteen 1BD/1BA units and six townhomes (one 2BD and five 3BD), and is rented by the unit, giving a new owner clear levers on rent growth and turnover-driven repricing each academic year. The units present in turn-key condition, with updated interiors-vinyl plank flooring, refreshed kitchens, and solid appliances. Projected 2026/27 income of $857,952, plus $54,871 in other income from parking, RUBS, and laundry, supports an NOI of $622,060 and a 5.50% cap rate at the asking price. Isla Vista is the primary off-campus housing market for UCSB, whose enrollment sits at roughly 26,000 students. That scarcity has driven steady long-term rent growth: the submarket is roughly 99% renter-occupied with consistently low vacancy and now carries some of the highest median rents in the greater Santa Barbara area. High annual turnover lets owners reset rents to market each cycle, and units are routinely pre-leased well ahead of the academic year with minimal downtime.

''Rancho Dos Vistas,'' meaning two views, was derived from its panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean on one side and its eternal view of the Santa Ynez Valley and beyond on the other. It's no wonder that late President Ronald Reagan chose the ranch adjacent to ''Rancho Dos Vistas'' to be his coveted ''Western White House'' while he was in office. Its beautifully appointed ocean view main house of three bedrooms and three bathrooms, has been meticulously renovated to harmonize with the ranch style of the home. Newly added wooden barn looks as though it has sat in the same place for over a hundred years, framed by Majestic Oak Trees, next to the meadow. Offering includes four parcels equaling 1,446 acres of natural beauty. This is an extremely rare offering, with nearly two miles of ridgeline and forty miles of roads meandering through untouched scenery, which rival California's National Parks. Possibilities are endless- hiking, fishing, mountain biking, horseback riding, or just escaping the hustle and bustle of urban civilization. Parcels are 081-040-020 (104.75 acres), 081-040-054 (660 acres), 081-100-045 (641.45 acres), 081-090-011 (40 acres).

Romantic. Playful. Effortless. Inspired by the simplicity of a 1920s Andalusian hacienda, this single-level Golden Quadrangle compound recalls an earlier Montecito, where days unfold outdoors by the pool & life gathers around gardens, tables & courtyards. Beyond carved wooden doors, a secluded acre becomes a private village: morning coffee in the sun, afternoons on the lawn & shaded patios, evenings of long dinners, board games, & conversation under the trees. The 3BD/3.5BA main residence opens to the gardens, while a 2BD guest cottage & two detached studios offer privacy for guests, work, or creativity. Stay a little longer -- there's an open door policy!
