About this property
Above it All, Best Views of Santa Barbara
Perched on a private hilltop at the base of the Santa Ynez Mountains, Above it All is a one-of-a-kind, award-winning 3BR/3BA estate designed to immerse you in beauty and tranquility. As featured in DWELL magazine, this architectural masterpiece offers sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean and rolling hills, setting the stage for a truly unforgettable Santa Barbara escape.
Walls of glass flood the home with natural light and frame breathtaking vistas from nearly every room. The sophisticated living area features a sleek indoor-outdoor fireplace and flows seamlessly into the chef’s kitchen, where high-end appliances and a Miele espresso machine elevate your daily rituals. A hand-carved wood dining table seats ten—perfect for lingering meals with family or friends.
Each of the three en-suite bedrooms offers privacy and comfort, with spa-inspired bathrooms and premium finishes throughout:
• Two suites feature California king beds, gas fireplaces, smart TVs, and private patios.
• The third suite includes a queen-sized sofa sleeper and large smart TV—ideal for older children or extra guests.
Step outside to enjoy the true magic of this property. Soak in the cliffside hot tub, swim in the heated pool (optional daily heating), and unwind in beautifully designed outdoor spaces for lounging, dining, and gathering. Fire up the gas grill, enjoy sunset dinners on the terrace, or cozy up by the outdoor fireplace or fire pit under the stars.
Additional Amenities Include:
• High-speed Wi-Fi and smart TVs
• Air conditioning (mini-split systems + sliding glass doors for natural airflow)
• Full laundry room
• Driveway parking for three vehicles
• Local host greeting upon arrival for a personalized check-in
Conveniently located near beaches, wineries, hiking trails, and downtown Santa Barbara, Above it All offers both peaceful retreat and easy access to the best of the Central Coast. Whether you're planning a family getaway, celebrating a milestone, or simply craving a luxurious escape, this hilltop haven delivers in every way.
Reserve your stay today and experience the unmatched serenity, design, and natural beauty of Above it All.
**The pool can be heated for an additional daily fee—please let us know in advance if you'd like this arranged. The hot tub is available year-round at no extra charge.
