Built and designed in the early 2000s by noted architect Barry Berkus, this extravagant Hamptons-style estate was compared with Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello residence and the nation’s White House the last time it was for sale in 2020. Since fully renovated and modernized by its current owners, who scooped up the place that same year for $8.2 million, the ocean-view spread is now on the market again in Santa Barbara‘s tranquil Hope Ranch enclave with a $20 million price tag.

Listed by Carmen Galzerano of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, the six-bedroom, nine-bath home offers roughly 11,700 square feet across three levels punctuated with arched doorways, sliding wrought-iron and glass barn doors, and folding walls of glass. Automated sound, climate, lighting, and security systems have also been added to the mix.

Perched on two-and-a-half hillside acres overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands, the stone-accented and dome-capped structure is introduced via a gated driveway. Bordered by antique wood pillar columns, the custom wood and glass front doors lead into a rotunda foyer displaying dark polished hardwood floors that run throughout the interiors.

From there, a vaulted living room sports a two-way fireplace set into a gray accent wall and curving windows overlooking ocean vistas. The formal dining room has seating for at least 10 and a cozy lounge, while the spacious kitchen is outfitted with an expansive zinc-wrapped island, La Cornue range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, trio of ovens and sinks, and walk-in pantry. A pass-through window opens to a terrace with dual barbecue stations.

Elsewhere on the main level is a family room, a mahogany-paneled library, a guest suite, and a primary bedroom flaunting a sitting area warmed by a Venetian plaster fireplace and a private patio with a spa and shower. Three additional en suite bedrooms with their own Juliette balconies can be found upstairs, while the lower level has an ebony and ivory screening room, a wine cellar and tasting room, and a gym.

Outdoors, the garden-laced grounds are showcased by a pool and spa, an infinity-edge fountain, several terraces, meandering pathways, and a newly surfaced tennis court, along with a trio of finished and climatized garages that can accommodate up to five vehicles. A $3,324 HOA fee also provides 24-hour security, equestrian trails, and gated beach access.
