Bel Air Knolls

Adobe Hacienda

Reminiscent of early California, "Casa Nirvana" is hidden in idyllic privacy on an oak-studded 1.78 acre parcel revealing breathtaking views of the ocean, harbor, mountains and city. Spectacular sunrises, evening city lights and coastline vistas all enhance the magic of this special sanctuary.

With rich architectural heritage, this authentic 1954 California Adobe expresses a rugged romantic beauty and includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a Great Room.  Embodying the carefree Santa Barbara lifestyle, this single-level hacienda with broad covered porches lends itself perfectly to year-round enjoyment of indoor/outdoor living. Canopies of oaks shade the relaxing retreats of the stone and brick paved terraces while numerous varieties of fruit trees grace the land.

Highlights include a wood-burning fireplace in the living room, vaulted wood-beam ceilings throughout, 18" thick adobe walls (with steel reinforcement), generously sized foyer, a wide central hallway, large picture windows and glass sliders for unobstructed panoramic views, hardwood floors in dining room, kitchen, bathrooms and spacious laundry room, passive solar water heating system and 3-car garage with attached 450-sf bonus room and extra full bath.

Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a classic hacienda rich in myth, history, and impressive architecture; only a short distance to downtown and the beach.
