Nestled within lush gardens and a fertile hillside, El Encanto offers a serene retreat from the rhythm of city life. Breathe in the warm, salt-kissed air and take in sweeping views of the Pacific. Welcome to your hillside haven.
Bathed in golden light and cooled by ocean breezes, El Encanto is perched high in the Santa Barbara hills – a sanctuary where stillness reigns. Terracotta rooftops peek through palms, winding pathways beckon quiet exploration, and each vantage point reveals a new horizon of sea and sky. Here, time slows, and the world below gently fades.
