Above it All lives up to its name—an award-winning, architecturally stunning 3-bedroom, 3-bath estate perched on a private hilltop at the base of the Santa Ynez Mountains. As featured in DWELL magazine, this one-of-a-kind Santa Barbara home delivers breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and rolling hills, all from a sleek, modern setting designed for elevated indoor-outdoor living.

From the moment you arrive, you're immersed in serenity and style. Walls of glass frame unforgettable vistas from nearly every room, while the seamless flow between indoor spaces and expansive outdoor patios makes this home perfect for sun-soaked days and starlit evenings.

The main living area is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass, offering stunning views of the mountains and Pacific Ocean from every angle. A sleek indoor-outdoor gas fireplace anchors the space, complemented by refined furnishings and curated decor that create a calm, sophisticated atmosphere. Whether you're enjoying a quiet moment or gathering with friends, this living area invites both relaxation and connection.

The open-concept kitchen is as functional as it is stylish, equipped with high-end integrated appliances and a Miele espresso machine for your morning coffee rituals. A spacious island offers bar seating for three, while the adjacent artisan-carved wood dining table seats ten, making every meal feel special. For a more casual dining experience, step outside and enjoy dinner with a view.

The primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring a California king bed, smart TV, gas fireplace, and direct access to the patio. Its luxurious en-suite bathroom includes a double vanity, soaking tub, and walk-in shower—perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration.

The second bedroom also boasts a California king bed, smart TV, gas fireplace, and a private patio. Its en-suite bathroom, which also offers hallway access, features a modern walk-in shower. The third bedroom offers flexibility for families or additional guests with a queen bed, twin futon, and a large smart TV. An attached en-suite bath with a walk-in shower completes the space.

Each bedroom is filled with natural light and appointed with high-quality finishes, ensuring restful sleep and private comfort.

The outdoor spaces at Above it All are truly exceptional. From the moment you step onto the terrace, you're surrounded by panoramic views stretching from the Santa Ynez Mountains to the sparkling Pacific. Whether you're swimming in the heated pool or soaking in the cliffside hot tub as the sun dips below the horizon, the setting feels unforgettable.

Gather around the alfresco dining table for sunset meals prepared on the gas grill, then settle into one of the outdoor lounge areas to enjoy the warmth of the fireplace or fire pit. Every corner of the outdoor space is designed for comfort and connection, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty and refined living. Morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply soaking in the view—this outdoor setting elevates every moment.

Majestic Views and Relaxing Luxury – A Perfect Stay!

by Sharon

The architecture and the views were both majestic and related. The sunrise from the bedroom and sunset from the pool deck added significant ambience to our family trip. The Zen Gardens and the hot tub made for a relaxing vibe enjoyed by all. The full kitchen is perfect for stay at home meals. There is no reason to leave this beautiful home. We only ended up going out one night. It was worth every penny.!!

Luxurious Stay with Stunning Views and Top-Notch Amenities!

by Austin

Everything about this property is stunning. The double master bedrooms is perfect for two couples traveling together. The entire home was appointed with top of the line appliances and fixtures. We had everything we needed for a two day stay while staying in SB. The views make you feel like you’re far away but it’s only a 15 min drive into town. The team was quick to communicate and easy to work with.

Breathtaking Views and Serene Comfort—A Perfect Retreat!

by Diane

Once u check in you won’t want to go anywhere else and leave this beautiful property! Drop dead views, quiet serenity, beautifully appointed, quality simplicity. Well stocked kitchen - spices, oils, and dishes and cookware. We were 6 adults which is was comfortable but likely max in our opinion. Two gorgeous en-suite master bedrooms, views, large bathrooms and closets. The third room - an office/bedroom - is smaller, with modest closet space and bathroom (also accessible from hallway).

Airbnb Review

by Travis
The rare place that the photos do not do justice, particularly the views. A true indoor / outdoor experience in the common areas with comfortable beds to sleep in. If you're considering a couple of rooms at the Belmond but the privacy of a home appeals to you and you like ultra-mod, you'd be every bit as happy here.

Airbnb Review

by Gabriel
The pictures can't really do this house justice - it's absolutely beautiful, impeccably designed, with stunning views (especially the sunsets) that are truly remarkable. Close to hiking trails, the Botanical Gardens, and a quick drive to anything and everything else you could want to do in Santa Barbara, we would definitely return again. Should you decide to book the house, be sure to read the welcome instructions front-to-back when you arrive to get a sense of how everything works; it will make your stay that much more enjoyable. A highly recommended experience for those who are looking for a quiet and relaxing private escape.

Blissed out in Santa Barbara

by Albert
We spent a week at Above It All in May 2022 on a return visit; we had previously stayed there in July 2017. The price has gone up, but we loved it all over again. Let Harry and Meghan have their chateau in Montecito… what WE want is the incredible view that THIS house has, and its modern design that opens up to merge the indoors and the outdoors. Architecturally elegant in its clean, rectilinear lines and consistent finishes, this house is a private aerie — quiet, soothing, and restful — a thousand feet up on a ridgetop west of Mission Canyon. It's hard to decide which is better: the views of Santa Barbara, the views of the Channel Islands, or the views of the dramatic crest of the Santa Ynez Mountains. We cooked all of our meals in the well-equipped kitchen. We paid to have the pool heated, and the temperature was what we expected. It takes only five or ten minutes to drive down to town to shop. For exercise, the scenic and nearby Tunnel Trail is perfect. This is a house that is hard to leave!
