Sweeping views from every vantage point, superb integration of indoor and outdoor living and amenities, and immaculate new construction with unsurpassed attention to detail and craftsmanship are hallmarks of this dramatic villa. The Murray Duncan design and A.K. Huddleston construction bestow a pedigree of perfection.

Its masterful blend of dramatic scale and intimate comfort begins at the entryway with a soaring ceiling, sophisticated lighting and a palette of impressive architectural details and living spaces. The living room, for example, conveys intimacy with its warming fireplace; substance with its beamed cathedral ceiling and wrought-iron chandelier; and relaxation with its ocean view and access to the pool and lawn areas.

Guests are afforded the utmost convenience with two guest rooms and a full bath located immediately inside the entry. A very private, separate studio with full bath and walk-in closet is accessible via French doors directly across the motor portico.

Possibilities abound for both domestic and guest entertaining considering the over 2,500 square feet comprising the kitchen, dining and great rooms. Just outside, the home's spectacular outdoor amenities include a sparkling pool with in-pool spa, emerald lawn and spacious dining and entertaining veranda featuring a fireplace, fountain, ceiling fans and built-in cabinetry.

The kitchen takes center stage with its dual refrigerators, double ovens, custom cabinetry, granite counters and breakfast bar, while the pass-through to the formal dining room hosts a butler's pantry, wet bar and wine cooler. Open to the kitchen, the expansive great room offers a fireplace, large built-in entertainment cabinet and access to the veranda. A roomy breakfast nook is virtually glassed-in, thereby providing a panorama of lawn and gardens.

Upstairs, retreat from the world in the spacious master suite. Its expansive ambiance is provided by a beamed cathedral ceiling and breathtaking ocean and mountain views. A grand walk-in closet hosts built-in cabinetry, and a luxurious bathroom offers dual sinks, an oversize shower with multiple shower heads, and a tub with striking mountain views. The adjacent spacious balcony overlooks lawn and pool; its outdoor fireplace ready to warm those cool Santa Barbara evenings. The balcony extends to a second-level loggia with fountain and panoramic views.

Nearby, a two bedroom suite features not only the bedrooms with their walk-in closets and connecting bath, but also a playroom or sitting room.

Located in the prestigious, gated "La Romana" community just minutes from all that Santa Barbara has to offer, this stunning residence rests on .7 landscaped acres literally a stone's throw from a protected 11-mile trail system. Combining relaxed luxury with a wealth of amenities, this exquisite Mediterranean villa is the perfect place to enjoy true Santa Barbara living.
