Property Description
Villa Calafia | Gordon Kaufmann, AIA | Ocean Views | Equestrian Estate | Tennis Court :: Set on nearly 16 ocean-view acres and nestled in the peaceful foothills of Carpinteria, Villa Calafia is a rare 1930s estate designed by esteemed architect Gordon Kaufmann, AIA, best known for Greystone Mansion and the Los Angeles Times building. This Tuscan-inspired retreat reflects the elegance and scale of California's architectural heritage. The 4-bedroom main residence reflects Kaufmann's refined vision, with arched thresholds, balanced proportions, and a quiet Mediterranean elegance that speaks to his architectural pedigree. Framed by ocean views, the home is well-preserved, honoring its historic character. The estate includes: three two-story, independent guest residences, each with their own living room and kitchen: a One-bedroom Tower House with sweeping ocean views, a 1-bedroom Serenity House, and the Woods House with two bedrooms. Together, they offer a flexible and private layout ideal for hosting, extended stays, or multigenerational living. The grounds feature a tennis court, equestrian facilities, 8 car covered parking, established citrus and avocado groves, and ample space for a future pool, curated gardens, or boutique vineyard. A true destination estate, Villa Calafia offers a rare escape nestled just minutes from Montecito and Santa Barbara. Far enough from Los Angeles to feel like a world away, yet close enough for a weekend commute or seamless relocation, it is a legacy property ready for its next chapter.
