A Modern Masterpiece. Along a tranquil ridgeline in Hope Ranch, the land opens in three directions - the Santa Ynez Mountains to the north, the Pacific Ocean to the south, and natural Hope Ranch setting below. One roofline runs the length of the site. Below it, glass - the landscape held on every side. Designed by DesignARC and completed in 2023, the residence reinterprets midcentury modern principles in glass, stone, and steel - clean geometry, measured proportion, every line held to the same discipline. A U-shaped plan wraps a central courtyard and lap pool. Broad overhangs and clerestory glazing carry light deep into the interior.Corners disappear where the glass meets. In the great room, thirty feet of pocketing doors slide fully away, and the distinction between inside and out stops holding.Inside, the material palette is simple and consistent. Travertine runs from the courtyard walls to a full-height fireplace in the great room and again in the primary suite, laid in long horizontal courses that echo the roofline. White oak floors throughout. Venetian plaster and inset reveals set the rhythm. Clerestory windows carry a band of light above the room and hold the palm canopy in view.A gallery corridor runs the length of the plan, glass to the courtyard on one side, stone on the other, art along its length, ending in a wall of warm wood. It links the public rooms to the private wing and does the work of a gallery on the way. The kitchen opens to the great room beneath the same clerestory band. Elsewhere the house turns quieter and darker -- a den, a powder room -- proof that restraint isn't the only register available to it.Outside, a timber pergola on steel posts extends the roofline into a covered terrace, where a travertine fire table faces the tree line.The landscape, by Nicole Greer of CJM::LA, answers the architecture rather than decorating it -- sculptural olives, sandstone boulders, native grasses, structure without ornament. In the courtyard, a mature Canary Island date palm stands free in the gravel. The lap pool and spa sit level with the terrace, side by side.Built by Leonard Unander Associates and styled by KB Kim of Langoworks - 1045 Via Tranquila is a Santa Barbara house in the older sense of the term: sited first, built second, and quiet throughout.Design Awards & HonorsFeatured on the cover of Luxe Interiors + Design (July 2025 edition)Honored for architectural design excellence by the American Institute of Architects (2024)Recognized for visionary landscaping design by the American Society of Landscape Architects (2025)

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.
