1102 Plaza Del Monte

Hidden between Downtown Santa Barbara and the ocean, on almost 3/4 acre at the end of a cul de sac, sits something genuinely rare. The moment you walk through the home and see the backyard, it stops you in your tracks. A sprawling oasis anchored by mature oak trees and wrapped in the kind of privacy that takes decades to grow into.

The single-level home was remodeled in 2023, and the care taken shows in every room. Every surface, fixture, and finish was addressed as a cohesive whole. Vaulted ceilings and an easy flow between inside and out do the rest, leading naturally to a backyard that was made for long afternoons and good company. The kitchen is made for serious cooks and entertainers, outfitted with custom cabinetry, new countertops and appliances, a dedicated bar area, and a window that looks out over the backyard. The primary suite is spacious and well-appointed, with a beautifully finished ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard, so the morning routine can start outside if the mood strikes.

The outdoor spaces have been designed with intention; distinct areas for dining, lounging, and wandering, all connected by a landscape that feels natural rather than manicured. It is, by any measure, extraordinary for this location. Citrus, apple, plum, apricot, pomegranate, and fig fill the mini orchard. Raised vegetable beds round out a backyard that genuinely earns the word oasis.

For a property this private, the location is almost surprising. State Street, the Farmers Market, the beach, and the harbor are all within a few minutes; the kind of proximity that makes daily life genuinely easy. The sanctuary waiting at the end of the driveway, though, makes it easy to forget any of that is nearby.

Land this size, this usable, this private, and this close to downtown Santa Barbara does not come available often. The owners called it home for 40 years. That says everything.

Santa Barbara

Situated on a south-facing section of coastline, the longest such section on the West Coast of the United States, Santa Barbara lies between the steeply rising Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. Dubbed the “American Riviera,” for its Spanish Colonial architecture, balmy Mediterranean climate, and picturesque mountains within close proximity to the ocean, Santa Barbara is a premier resort destination. World-class accommodations and dining abound. With over 400 hundred restaurants, a lively downtown strip, urban wine trail, jaw-dropping hiking venues, water-sports, historic harbor, and sparkling beaches, it is no wonder Santa Barbara is a tourist mecca. Santa Barbara is called home by it’s active, community-minded 90,000 residents who pride themselves on a quality lifestyle, caring for their environment and building thriving businesses. And there is always fun to be had. Each month Santa Barbara's calendar of events is bursting with festivals like Old Spanish Days and the International Film Festival or cultural events at any one of the many gorgeous theaters. Regular concerts at the Santa Barbara Bowl with it’s jaw-dropping background views are always hot-ticket events. Santa Barbara also boasts top educational institutions, including the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) and City College. Easy rail transportation, a 2-hour drive north from Los Angeles or a short hop from any corner of the world via the Santa Barbara airport makes Santa Barbara living easy. Each small neighborhood of Santa Barbara brings it’s own unique flavor to this bustling city with their distinctive histories, architectures, and cultures. From The Mesa with its beach vibe, to Mission Canyon with its gorgeous hiking trails and historical Mission, to the Riviera with its winding streets and intricate stone work terracing built by early 20th-century Italian immigrants, to family friendly San Roque where they really know how to celebrate Halloween, to Samarkand which is “the land of heart’s desire,” there is a neighborhood for everyone. The Eastside and The Westside are two neighborhoods each with their own distinct flavors and divided by the famous State Street that runs right through the city. The Downtown area is divided into the Funk Zone which is full of boutique wineries, foodie hang-outs and galleries, and the main shopping strip further north on State Street. The Waterfront area includes Sterns Wharf, the harbor, the Santa Barbara Zoo and many fine tourist accommodations.
