About this property
The Santa Barbara Riviera is widely regarded as one of the city's most iconic and desirable neighborhoods, known for its dramatic topography, stunning view corridors, Mediterranean character, and close proximity to downtown Santa Barbara, the harbor and beaches. Often compared to the hillsides of the French and Italian Riviera, the neighborhood offers a unique blend of elevated privacy, architectural beauty, and coastal living. Winding roads, lush landscaping, and hillside estates create a setting unlike anywhere else on the Central Coast. 40 Rincon Vista offers a rare opportunity to build a custom home on one of Santa Barbara's most sought-after Riviera view parcels. Perched above the city, the property captures breathtaking panoramic vistas of the Pacific Ocean, harbor, coastline, Channel islands, and sparkling city lights below. The elevated setting also showcases spectacular sunrise and mesmerizing sunset views, with ever changing colors illuminating the sky and coastline from dawn to dusk. These jaw dropping views are constantly changing and never get old, offering a dynamic landscape that remains captivating day after day. This exceptional homesite combines serenity and scenery while remaining just minutes from beaches, restaurants, shopping, theaters, hiking trails, and the Funk Zone. The elevated position offers the opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind residence designed to maximize the sweeping views and Santa Barbara's year-round coastal climate. Vacant Riviera land opportunities of this caliber are increasingly rare, making 40 Rincon Vista an outstanding offering for an owner-user, developer, or investor seeking to create something truly special in one of Santa Barbara's premier hillside neighborhoods. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a Riviera view parcel where significant preliminary design and planning work has already been undertaken to solicit project feasibility. Conceptual architectural studies and recent pre-application discussions with the City suggest a thoughtful path toward future development, while still allowing a new owner the flexibility to tailor a project to their own vision and preferences.
