About this House

A true Carpinteria multi-home gated compound in an exceptional location near Padaro Lane, Santa Claus Beach and the Polo Fields. Set on a broad, level .97-acre parcel with green lawns, flowering gardens & a citrus orchard, this turnkey treasure includes two single-level homes, a separate studio, multiple garages, carports, a workshop, 3 laundry facilities and abundant parking. Offering approx. 4,000 sq ft across three distinct living spaces, the compound is thoughtfully updated, beautifully kept & ready for the good life. The approx. 2,100 sq ft main residence offers 3 bedrooms (2 are en suite), 3 baths & a 2-car garage. Vaulted ceilings, a stone fireplace and open living, dining & kitchen areas give the home a warm, creative California vibe. The home opens easily to its patios, a deck & green lawns for relaxed indoor-outdoor living.

The beautifully updated second residence offers approx. 1,500 sq ft with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Bright, open interiors feature hardwood floors, a fireplace, a stylish kitchen with generous cabinetry and counter space, an inviting primary suite with a walk-in closet and its own private outdoor areas.

A separate studio above the garage & shop on the south side provides a complete third living or work space with an open interior, updated kitchen and bath. Three additional outbuildings, including an office and two buildings for garden equipment and storage, add even more versatility.

California architecture & red tile roofs give the compound bona fide charm. Grassy lawns surround the main residence, while the citrus orchard and numerous mature fruit trees highlight the grounds. Lantana, agave, palms, oaks, sycamores and colorful plantings bring texture & life to the setting, all framed by cinematic mountain views. Mature landscaping and gated entry create a wonderful sense of privacy throughout the compound.

Ideally positioned at the gateway to the Padaro Lane and Santa Claus Beach enclave, known for some of the South Coast's most valuable coastal homes, the property offers exceptional convenience to the beach, cafés, the Polo Fields, Montecito and downtown Carpinteria, with easy access to Highway 101. Here, beach culture, agriculture & creative South Coast energy come together.

  • 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. "

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!"
