Description

Life measured in tides, not traffic. Properties within this gated oceanfront enclave almost never come available. Set within an intimate community of just 13 residences and one of only six prized bluff-front homes, 5325 Dorwin Lane offers an extraordinary opportunity to own one of Santa Barbara's most private stretches of coastline. Bordering More Mesa's 325 acres of coastal open space, the property enjoys unobstructed Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands views, direct access to a secluded beach below, and a setting where dolphins, sea lions, and migrating birds are often your closest neighbors. The residence is an authentic expression of California coastal architecture. Exposed timber beams, soaring vaulted clerestory ceilings, tongue-and-groove wood paneling, Saltillo tile floors.......

Supplements: a dramatic large stone fireplace, and custom built-ins create a home that feels warm, timeless, and deeply connected to its surroundings. Large bluff-front decks and patios extend the living spaces outdoors, offering front-row seats to spectacular sunsets, passing whales, and the rhythm of the Pacific. Featuring five bedrooms, four-and-a-half baths, and more than half an acre, every bedroom enjoys an ocean view. This is a home designed not simply to overlook the coast but to immerse you in it. Close to Santa Barbara, Goleta, shopping, dining, and the airport, yet worlds away from everyday life.
