I know I’m not the only one with a COVID-clouded calendar. The days and weeks melt into each other, and summer weather in December just compounds the confusion. But last week I found a perfect hideaway where time stands still. Tucked into the ocean side of a Mesa hilltop, this secluded sanctuaryhas an endless summer vibe and a panoramic view that just may be the best in Santa Barbara.
While “panoramic view” may be one of the most overused phrases in real estate parlance, this one truly deserves the description. The vista spans the entire coastline all the way south to Point Mugu on the way to Malibu, and north past the majesty of the Channel Islands, along the Gaviota Coast to Point Conception, I’m told that on a clear night, even the lights of the Santa Monica pier are visible. No power lines or houses break the line of sight, so the view truly is unobstructed. And it is breathtaking.
