The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Santa Barbara–Santa Maria Area, California for the week ending November 8, 2026, were all in the city of Santa Barbara, and together they totaled $20.96 million. Four of the five have four bedrooms, and agents of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties listed three of them.
No. 1 — $5,670,000 · 2079 Birnam Wood Dr, Santa Barbara, California
The week’s top sale is a home on the edge of the first fairway at Birnam Wood, a gated country club community with a clubhouse, tennis courts, a gym and its golf course. The home at 2079 Birnam Wood Drive sold for $5,670,000.
Built in 1977 in a traditional style with wood siding, the home has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and 2,600 square feet on a level one-acre lot with views of the mountains and the course. Its center is a tall-ceilinged living room with a fireplace that burns gas or wood and a wall of floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Those doors open onto a broad patio and a lawn, and past a ficus hedge lies the green of the first fairway. A second fireplace warms the primary bedroom. The home was planned without steps: none at the front door, none at the back and none between rooms inside. A large motor court and a garage handle the cars. The property last sold for $3.8 million in 2022.
Chuck Husting and Christina Hopkins, both of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, were the listing agents. Barbara C Koutnik of Sotheby’s International Realty represented the buyer.

No. 2 — $5,350,000 · 2150 Ten Acre Rd, Santa Barbara, California
Like the week’s top sale, the No. 2 home is inside the Birnam Wood Golf Club community, and it sold for $5,350,000. The contemporary home sits on a cul-de-sac along the sixth fairway, on a one-acre lot with mountain views. Built in 1988, it is the newest and the largest of the five homes, with 3,154 square feet, three bedrooms and three bathrooms.
Besides the bedrooms, the floor plan has two flex spaces that could become an office, a media room, a gym or more room for living, and the living room has a fireplace. Outside, the landscaping has been redone with mature hedges and layered gardens, along with fruit trees and drought-tolerant plantings, and there is an outdoor pool. A covered pergola gives the home an outdoor room for entertaining through the year. The property last sold for $5.17 million in 2022.
Casey Turpin and Teddy Muller of Village Properties were the listing agents, and Lisa Foley of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties represented the buyer.

One bedroom and a full bath are on the main level.
A skylight brightens the upper floor, where a flex room can serve as a second living area, and two bedrooms with vaulted ceilings share a bath with two sinks. The primary suite has a walk-in closet behind frosted-glass double doors and a bath with a walk-in shower and a freestanding slipper tub. Out back are a built-in barbecue, an outdoor dining area, a fire pit and a lawn. Elings Park and its trails are nearby, and Hendry’s Beach is a short drive away.

On the East Mesa, 214 Cordova Drive went under contract nine days after it was listed and sold for $3,225,000, $25,000 above its asking price of $3.2 million.
The 1958 stucco home sits behind a stone wall and lush plantings, and a remodel carried out over the past decade pairs its midcentury character with modern finishes. A Dutch door opens into a living room with a fireplace and built-in bookshelves, and hardwood floors run through the home. The kitchen and dining area look onto both the front and back yards. The home has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and 1,643 square feet on an 8,276-square-foot lot, and the property also includes a second residence and a shed. In the backyard, a hot tub and seating areas sit beside the lawn. Shoreline Park, Leadbetter Beach and the Douglas Family Preserve are all close. The property last sold for $1.205 million in 2015, 11 years ago.

The oldest home of the week, built in 1940, stands on an established, tree-lined street in San Roque. A tall cedar rises over the front lawn among mature palms and citrus trees, and the flat 0.34-acre lot has green lawns and mature trees around it for privacy.
The home at 3338 Calle Noguera has four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and 1,876 square feet, with walls of glass that bring the mountain views and daylight into the living spaces, and a fireplace in the living room. Stevens Park and McKenzie Park are nearby, as are the shops and restaurants of Upper State Street.
The home went under contract eight days after it was listed and sold for $2,800,000, just above its asking price of $2.795 million.
