About this House

The moment you step inside, your eyes are drawn beyond the home to an extraordinary panorama of the Santa Ynez Mountains and breathtaking backdrop so perfectly framed it feels like a living work of art. Set within the hillside community of Shepard Mesa, this single level Spanish style estate offers a rare blend of privacy, flexibility, and the relaxed elegance that defines the Carpinteria lifestyle.

Situated on approximately 3 acres, the property is thoughtfully positioned to capture sweeping mountain vistas from nearly every room while providing exceptional privacy and a peaceful connection to nature. Built in 1987, the approx. 2,660 sq. ft. main residence features 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a comfortable single level floor plan that has been lovingly maintained over the years. Move in ready today, it also presents a wonderful opportunity for a new owner to update the finishes and create a home that reflects their own style and vision.

Complementing the main residence is a detached approx. 650 sq. ft. 1 bedroom, 1 bath guest house with its own separate driveway. Perfect for hosting family and friends, accommodating extended family, or creating a private office or studio, the guest house enjoys the same captivating mountain views that make this property so special.

Adding even more versatility is approx. 1,000 sq. ft. of finished space beneath the main residence (not included in the listed square footage). Whether incorporated into the main home, transformed into a recreation or fitness room, art studio, media room, future pool cabana, or potential ADU, this flexible space creates possibilities rarely found in homes of this caliber.

The 3-acre setting offers endless opportunities to shape the landscape around your lifestyle. Envision a pool overlooking the mountains, an orchard or vineyard, terraced gardens, walking paths, or simply preserve the property's natural beauty and remarkable sense of open space. Here, you'll enjoy the tranquility of country living while remaining just minutes from downtown Carpinteria, Rincon Beach, hiking trails, and all that the Santa Barbara coast has to offer.

Properties in Shepard Mesa are always special, but few combine single level living, a detached guest house, substantial flex space, nearly 3 acres of usable land, and such unforgettable mountain views. This is a rare opportunity to create a legacy estate in one of Carpinteria's most treasured hillside communities.

  • Ray
    "I’ve lived in Carpinteria for more than 20 years and I love this little beach town. It has its own laidback feel to it and isn’t as stuffy or trendy as Montecito or Santa Barbara. There isn’t much in the way of nightlife and things get pretty quiet after about 8:30pm. But the charm of this place is hard to beat. "
  • Wwalyseeya3

You have the gorgeous beach, ocean, sunsets, and mountains while everything in the town is a flat walk , biking hiking, sipping coffee in the sun. Just a wonderful heavenly quiet joyful place to be!"
