Property Of The Week

Introducing Casa Paloma, one of the supremely rare, large bluff-top parcels in Santa Barbara’s Hope Ranch, currently on the market for $33.95M. The 13-acre property is majestically perched along nearly 400 feet of oceanfront with awe-inspiring views of the ocean, islands, and mountains. Included in this mid-construction legacy offering is an approved design by Tom Meaney Architects consisting of a 7,000+ square foot. 5-bedroom Andalusian Spanish Farmhouse, a 3-bedroom guest house, pool and pool cabana, tennis court and pavilion, 8-car collector’s garage with office and 1/2 bath, a 720 square foot accessory structure (“she-shed”), vegetable garden and animal pens, plus organic orchards of avocado and lemon trees.

Every conceivable luxury has been thoughtfully integrated into the conception of Casa Paloma, while still giving a future homeowner unmatched freedom to customize the home. Casa Paloma represents the ultimate California dream—to have a live/work/play retreat in one of the most desirable waterfront locations in the world.

The palm lined, private community of Hope Ranch is a world of its own. One of a widely known Santa Barbara homes, once owned entirely by Thomas W. Hope, was broken up into individual Hope Ranch real estate parcels c. 1925. Many Hope Ranch properties have spectacular views of both the mountains and the ocean. The main road through "the Ranch," is a public street. It begins by the wrought iron Hope Ranch sign that is suspended over the gate at the Las Palmas Drive entrance.

It passes by a portion of the private La Cumbre Country Club golf course, past picturesque Lake Laguna Blanca, past sports fields, and then runs adjacent to the private riding trails that are found throughout the ranch. Residents of the Ranch are members of the Hope Ranch Homes Association, which oversees the maintenance and protection of the entire area. Residents also enjoy membership and access to the private beach, tennis courts, horse trails, and security service. A wonderful blend of fine estates and family living, Hope Ranch remains one of the great gems of gracious living in the Santa Barbara area.
