Description
Ideally situated on the western side of Arroyo Burro/San Roque Canyon in the foothills overlooking San Roque you will find 130 Canyon Acres Drive, a home designed by Russel Ray, one of Santa Barbara's most significant architects.
The home enjoys a southern exposure to all of Santa Barbara and features panoramic views, the ocean from the Harbor to Hendrys Beach and the Channel Islands, along with beautiful sunrises, sunsets, and mountain views from the entry and north facing bedrooms.
130 Canyon Acres Drive has much to offer by way of views, location, history and more but a key aspect of the home may be the substantial renovation it underwent from 2012 - 2014.
Supplements: During the renovation, extreme care was taken to ensure, as much as possible, that original materials and designs were used throughout. The renovation included a new foundation, plumbing, electrical, kitchen expansion, and upgrade, new roof and more!
The nearly 1-acre grounds also feature meticulously manicured drought-tolerant landscaping as well as a two stall barn with tack room, pipe corral and access to the Jesusita trail.
For 20 years, Russel Ray was one of Santa Barbara's most significant architects, gracing the local landscape with a variety of homes, both stately and modest, as well as commercial buildings, schools, and churches. Ray was never wedded to a single architectural style and his work often incorporated different styles and intriguing mixes.
Some of Ray's more prominent work included:
- George Owen Knapp's Arcady in Montecito (Re-design/rebuild)
- A new home for Cottage Hospital (1913)
- A new Los Banos del Mar Bathhouse (1914)
- Cate School in Carpinteria, Ca
- Numerous residences on the Upper East Side of Santa Barbara
- YMCA building located at 110 West Carrillo Street (Torn down in 1986)
- Swiss Chalet on Las Tunas Road
- El Montecito Presbyterian Church
- The Hopkins House at 1900 Garden Street (Re-design)
- El Cerrito (Collaboration between Ray and Winsor Soule) This is now Marymount School
- Electrical Substation at 11 W Mission Street
- 316 E Los Olivos Street (Designed for artist Reginald Vaughn)
