Recent improvements include extensive landscaping, automated gated entry, perimeter fencing, enhanced security and technology, air conditioning, automated solar shades, and a backup generator. An existing elevator shaft allows for future installation. Ideally located in Bel Air Knolls, near the Mesa and downtown Santa Barbara, this soulful home offers exceptional privacy and natural beauty just minutes from beaches, restaurants, and shopping.With its handcrafted details, architectural pedigree, and peaceful setting, 1490 La Cima Road is a home with a character all its own.
