4675 La Espada Dr, Santa Barbara, CA 93111

Influenced by the romantic adobe architecture of Santa Fe, New Mexico, every detail in this well-constructed Santa Barbara home has been carefully considered and meticulously implemented. Foot-thick walls, custom doors, windows, cabinets and a multitude of authentic features make this one of the most impressive Southwest homes on the West Coast. Every element of this property reveals a photo-worthy view. Southwest artist/designer Mica (Michael McKinney) created the artistic renderings of the house based on the owners' wishes and an architect was engaged to create the flowing floor plan. This three-bedroom, four full-bath main home is 4450 square feet with a formal living room centered around an impressive fireplace, a family room with fireplace, a breakfast nook, a grand ensuite primary bedroom with an additional fireplace, a separate office area and French doors to a private hot tub. There is an ensuite spacious guest bedroom with private entry and a second-floor third bedroom with full bath, a large office area lighted by picture windows and boasting expansive ocean views as well as a Saltillo tiled view deck. The focal point of the home is the stunning dining room inspired by the interior of Montecito's Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. In addition to the main home, there is a 218-square-foot pool house with bar sink and full bath and a 693-square-foot three-car garage. The adobe-style walled and gated entry opens to an expansive flagstone and Saltillo tile private courtyard with pool. This is a home perfectly suited for privacy and entertaining with ocean and mountain views from various rooms, patios and courtyards with fountains. The property sits quietly at the end of a shared drive off a cul-de-sac. The 1.34-acre, E-1 zoned lot allows for multiple possibilities such as a potential lot split, guest house, ADU, orchards, gardens or possibly horses (buyer to verify). This home has been lovingly cared for since it was built in 1993. The neighborhood has underground utilities.
