Perfectly positioned to capture views from sunrise to sunset from every room in the house, experience a panorama of ever-changing immutable beauty.

The front motor court presents a classic Mediterranean hacienda façade. But step through the front entry and you will appreciate a unique design by the owner's parents, true visionaries that understood the home was merely a blank canvas to enjoy the jaw-dropping views. Huge picture windows and glass doors wrap around the home's east, south and western exposures. Like contemporary homes, very few walls interfere with the viewwith the spacious rooms, airy vaulted ceilings, and open floor plan. Most remarkable of all is the infinity-like pool that seems to float above the canyons, inviting hours of sun-drenched relaxation.
With easy access and proximity to Montecito and Summerland shops, this private 9-acre retreat has long been a well-kept secret. The expansive acreage provides sublime separation from neighbors, and the property overlooks one of the last major orchard and vineyard farms in the Summerland hillscreating a year-round verdant setting.
Creating an iconic eyrie setting, you can't help but unwind as you enjoy coastal breezes and a quietude as peaceful as the silent wings of hawks soaring around you. Enjoy this solidly well designed home while you dream up what's next. Whether you restore, reimagine, or rebuild, this is a one-of-a-kind location ready to support your vision.
Located within the coastal zone, this property offers unique opportunities for second homeowners. The versatile floor plan includes an attached two-room guest area, perfect for a caretaker or family member. Alternatively, the guest space can be easily incorporated into the main residence to increase the number of bedrooms.
This property also offers several unique advantages. It is one legal parcel composed of two assessor parcels. The house sits on nearly four acre assessor parcel, while the second, 5+ acre assessor parcel in the canyon includes a level area once used for equestrian purposeswhere the owners enjoyed riding their magnificent Andalusians on Summerland Beach every day. For horse lovers and hikers, the Montecito Trails Association maintains nearby trails.
Simply mesmerizing, you will find it difficult to leave this tranquil haven of comfort and beauty. tranquil haven of comfort and beauty.
