Designed by architect Wallace Neff, the father of California style, this six-bedroom clifftop hacienda in the exclusive private community of Hope Ranch is a stylish oasis for a life lived indoors and out.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Born in 1895 in La Mirada, California, Wallace Neff spent much of his youth in the luxurious, easygoing neighborhoods of Southern California\u2014often at his grandparents\u2019 hillside home, reportedly a Queen Anne Victorian manor that enjoyed a cascading view of the ocean. This early immersion surely contributed to his ultimate renown for merging Spanish, Tuscan, Mediterranean, Islamic, and other aesthetic elements into what today is known as California style.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Santa Barbara, California<\/a> | Dusty Baker Group<\/a>, Sotheby\u2019s International Realty \u2013 Montecito \u2013 Coast Village Road Brokerage<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Perched on a lofty ocean bluff in Santa Barbara\u2019s exclusive private community of Hope Ranch, this Neff-designed residence<\/a> combines the architect\u2019s quintessential characteristics with consummate modern concepts, making it both one of the most significant estates in the area and a nexus for classic California living, with equal time spent indoors and out.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The architect\u2019s influence is readily apparent in the majestic living room, whose lofty environs of vaulted beamed ceilings and marble flooring are warmed by an original fireplace designed by Neff. Here and in the nearby dining room, walls of glass create cinematic views of the ocean and Channel Island. Steps away\u2014in a configuration ideal for entertaining\u2014the light-filled chef\u2019s kitchen is equipped with Miele appliances, streamlined cabinetry, and a glass-walled temperature-controlled wine room that can be replenished by the estate\u2019s extensive wine cellar. Other highlights include a home theater\u2014a virtual necessity in Southern California\u2014a wellness center with a sauna, a steam room, and a jetted tub; and multiple elevators.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>An entire wing of the home is dedicated to the generous primary suite, a true haven of rest and relaxation with a sitting room or den and a pair of impressively lavish baths. Guest quarters\u2014three full, elegant suites\u2014occupy a wing of their own; just below are an additional bedroom and staff quarters. For guests in need of significant seclusion, a freestanding one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse with a full kitchen is tucked into the hillside at the property\u2019s edge.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Neff\u2019s peer in the realm of landscape design\u2014Thomas Dolliver Church\u2014was equally pioneering in his field and recognized for establishing aesthetics that today are de rigueur in Southern California. Church keenly integrated this residence and its grounds in a free, easy flow, allowing the outdoors to relate to and serve the interiors in satisfying fashion. Much like the haciendas of bygone days, this oasis is centered around an alluring courtyard that gives way to an expansive terrace with a fire pit. Beyond, lush landscaping and idyllic sitting areas encourage appreciation of Southern California\u2019s famed blue skies and picturesque mountain and coastal vistas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The focus inevitably turns to the dazzling saltwater swimming pool, with its deep cerulean waters echoing the neighboring sea. Its companion is a lounging terrace designed for basking in the warm, prevailing sun or nighttime stargazing beside a second fire feature. In an outlook worthy of any postcard, a swath of emerald lawn unfurls toward a stalwart mature oak and the cliff\u2019s edge, where an enviable observation deck offers an unparalleled view of the heart and soul of Southern California: azure waves crashing on serene sandy beaches, with rosy sunsets serving as a fittingly dramatic backdrop.<\/p>\n
