Award-Winning Spanish-Style Estate in Santa Barbara’s Rancho San Antonio Hits Market for $4.2 Million

A custom-built, award-winning estate in Santa Barbara’s Rancho San Antonio neighborhood has hit the market for the first time.

Located at 4594 Camino Molinero, the property was listed for $4.2 million, according to a Redfin listing.

Maintained by one family for decades, the residence spans 3,811 square feet and includes four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.  The sale price is equivalent to $1,102 per square foot.

Originally built in 1992 in the signature Spanish architectural style, the single-family residence sits on a 0.67-acre lot.

The “Santa Barbara Beautiful” award-winning home was designed to enjoy the sunny outdoors, with features that ensures a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience, according to the listing.

The property has oversized doors and expansive windows that let abundant natural light inside the residence.

Inside, the ground floor includes a primary suite, a large living room with cathedral ceilings and a wet bar, an entertainment loft with a viewing balcony, and a formal dining space.

The ground floor also features a kitchen, which is complemented by a breakfast area and an adjoining den.

Upstairs, the house includes three more bedrooms.

In addition to the main residence, the property also has a spacious storage space, a finished three-car garage, a second-story laundry chute, along with a hidden finished attic nestled within the primary closet.

Outside, the property is designed as a private retreat.

The private backyard includes a pool, spa, and a cabana that can be potentially converted into an ADU (Additional Dwelling Unit) by the prospective new owner.

The garden has meandering pathways that wind through a number of fruit trees, raised vegetable beds, grapevines, and ornamental plantings.

The outdoors also include a fireplace that can be used to entertain guests or to spend time with family.

The property was listed by the Radius Group Commercial Real Estate.
