Timeless Craftsman Ortega Ridge | The Chosen Collection

Timeless Craftsman | Ortega Ridge Oceanview Retreat

Perched atop Ortega Ridge with breathtaking 180° ocean views, Timeless Craftsman offers a peaceful Santa Barbara retreat surrounded by nature. Set back from the road in an extremely private setting with only a handful of neighboring homes, the property sits on expansive land with hiking trails all around and the ability to walk down toward the beach or into charming Summerland.

The large fenced front yard welcomes you with multiple seating areas designed for soaking in the panoramic views. Relax on the outdoor sofa lounge, enjoy coffee from the front porch chairs, or watch the sun melt into the Pacific as coastal breezes roll through the ridge.

Inside, the home blends classic craftsman charm with warm, curated touches. A spacious living room flows into the dining area and a chef's kitchen with beautiful mountain views. Just off the living space, a light-filled sunroom creates the perfect place to unwind with a book or slow down after a day of exploring.

The main level features two inviting bedrooms—an ocean-view primary with a queen bed and a second queen bedroom—along with two full bathrooms. Tucked beneath the loft stairs, kids will love a cozy reading nook complete with books, games, and a whimsical teepee play space.

Upstairs, the loft offers two additional queen beds and a relaxed movie and family lounge, making it a perfect hangout space for evenings together.

Throughout the home you'll find timeless character—real wood floors, thoughtfully curated furnishings, a collection of vintage National Geographic magazines dating back to the 1950s, and hand-drawn paintings from the owners' family history that add a personal and artistic touch.

Step outside the kitchen to a large outdoor dining area with seating for eight, where ocean views provide the backdrop for unforgettable meals. Fire up the BBQ, gather around the table, and enjoy long sunset dinners under the Santa Barbara sky.

Perfect for families, nature lovers, and wellness-focused getaways, Timeless Craftsman is a place to slow down—whether hiking the surrounding trails, exploring nearby beaches, or simply sharing a bottle of wine with loved ones while watching the ocean stretch endlessly beyond the ridge.
