Carpinteria Reef Ranch is an architecturally captivating agricultural property on 11 acres in the Carpinteria foothills, overlooking the saltwater marsh and Carpinteria Reef. Ferguson-Ettinger Architects set out to design a unique family compound that celebrates the rich history of Carpinteria by blending into the natural surroundings, incorporating agricultural elements and capturing views from every living space. This one-of-a-kind coastal avocado ranch is a rare opportunity to enjoy the peaceful Carpinteria lifestyle.
Enter the main residence and you will be greeted by a structural marvel boasting stunning curved roof lines, dramatic ceiling heights, and spectacular ocean views. The entrance hall form was inspired by the Chumash tomol, creating a harmonious, awe-inspiring structure that reflects the graceful and efficient design of a canoe.
The open concept layout allows for fluid movement between spaces, creating an organic flow and sense of connectivity. Expansive windows throughout invite an abundance of natural light while framing the 360-degree panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.
Consisting of 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, the 4,900-square-foot home embodies the spirit of Santa Barbara County’s Southern Coast, seamlessly blending contemporary boldness with coastal ranch charm and truly indoor-outdoor living. Captivating views from every room are amplified by high ceilings and sleek modern lines. Concrete floors throughout radiate warmth with the Viessmann radiant heating system.

The main residence tiers naturally with the gradual slope of the site. The layout orients around the back courtyard, with each living space opening out to the saltwater pool and spa, outdoor dining area, fire pit lounge, and flat lawn overlooking the orchard with sweeping ocean views.
The property features a 5-acre certified organic avocado orchard and orange grove, an 800-square-foot barn complete with full kitchen, bath and laundry, as well as an additional 132-square-foot auxiliary structure in the orchard. And the location is unparalleled given the ease of access off Route 192 and close proximity to Carpinteria, Summerland, Montecito, and the 101 freeway

Carpinteria Reef Ranch (4038 Foothill Road) is being offered for $8,950,000. To see it in person, contact Casey Turpin of Village Properties at 805-232-5766 or [email protected].
