Inside a Serene $18,500,000 California Estate by Architect Gordon Kaufmann

Today on The Luxury Home Show we're touring a breathtaking coastal estate nestled in the hills of Carpinteria, California, where modern architecture meets serene natural beauty. Represented by Kate Blackwood of Compass, this show stopping property spans over 4 acres, offering panoramic ocean and mountain views from nearly every room.

Kate walks us through this thoughtfully designed residence, featuring soaring ceilings, expansive glass walls, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. With over 8,000 square feet of refined living space, the home includes a stunning chef’s kitchen, a spa-like primary suite, and multiple entertaining terraces perched above the Pacific. From the lush, gated grounds to the private pool and guest pavilion, this is the ultimate California dream, privacy, scale, and timeless design in perfect balance.

Perched in the foothills, this area offers a rare blend of rural tranquility and easy access to high-end dining, beaches, and boutique shopping. It’s where the mountains meet the ocean, and luxury meets laid-back California living.
