Hope Ranch: Where the Mountains Meet the Sea

Built in 2022 on a 1.91-acre lot in the private community of Hope Ranch, 406 Via Dichosa is a modern rustic–styled home with private beach access. It sits atop a beautiful ridgeline, taking advantage of sweeping panoramic views of the Santa Ynez Mountains, the city, peeks of La Cumbre Country Club’s fairways, and the Pacific Ocean. Come see for yourself at the open house this Sunday, October 11, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. (Reserve a spot here.)

Clean, contemporary lines pair with warm rustic materials to achieve the perfect California lifestyle: a standing-seam metal roof, black-framed windows, and reclaimed hand-hewn beams paired with 12-inch-wide white oak floors. There are three bedrooms, plus a den and four and a half bathrooms, and nearly every room offers an unforgettable view of all Santa Barbara has to offer.

You enter through steel-and-glass double doors into a stunning foyer with soaring ceilings, chevron-patterned oak floors, and a sleek iron-railed staircase set against dramatic paneled walls. The great room, with its open-beam ceilings, is lined with clerestory windows and anchored by a whitewashed brick fireplace with a reclaimed wooden mantel.

From there, the Fleetwood doors fully open to the covered terrace running the length of the home. This is indoor-outdoor living at its finest, with fireplace, overhead heaters, and fans, completed by cable railing that preserves the open sightlines. You’ll also find a large entertaining and dining area and a well-appointed kitchen with a sink, a built-in Viking grill, a pizza oven, and bar seating—all facing the views.

Back inside is the stunning chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry and expansive soapstone and quartzite counters, accented with handmade Moroccan Zellige tiles. There’s a 60-inch Viking range and dual Viking refrigerator and freezer columns. Behind the kitchen is the butler’s pantry with a coffee bar, including a built-in Miele coffee system. There’s also a separate, beautifully appointed bar for entertaining or simply relaxing; it features reclaimed brick walls, a built-in TV, two beverage refrigerators, an ice maker, and a dishwasher, along with a pass-through window to the terrace.

The upstairs primary suite offers two large custom walk-in closets and dual en-suite bathrooms, one of which has a freestanding soaking tub, dramatic marble shower, and mountain-view balcony. Downstairs are the two additional bedrooms—one en-suite, and the other opening to an oak-studded, shaded patio, with a pocket-door closure creating a complete guest suite wing.

The property was thoughtfully designed to be low maintenance, with drought-tolerant native landscaping, multiple mature oaks and sculptural olive trees, a well-sized motor court, and an oversized three-car garage with bountiful storage.

406 Via Dichosa is offered for $7,995,000. There’s an open house this Sunday from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. (reserve a spot here), or to schedule a showing, contact Renga Properties at 805-869-6349 or [email protected].
