Property Description
Ten Acre Ocean View Property: Previously entitled for a 6,673± sq ft estate compound incl residence, garage, decks, and pool. The property currently features a newer guest residence, state of the art workshop, extensive infrastructure, and active expansion plans, representing a rare largescale coastal estate property within Santa Barbara city limits. A beautifully engineered gated drive curves through meadows, pepper trees and palms, arriving at sweeping mountain, coastline, and island views that unfold across the property beneath Gibraltar and a panorama of Santa Barbara's front country, framed by majestic scenery and a remarkable sense of scale and drama. Substantial infrastructure includes 3-phase power, a 2-inch agricultural water meter, 1-inch domestic water meter supporting agricultural, creative, and workshop uses. With substantial groundwork already completed, the property offers a compelling blend of privacy, utility, scale, and flexibility within Santa Barbara city limits. The parcel's size, infrastructure, and existing access configuration may also present additional estate planning or development opportunities, subj to City approvals. A rare lifestyle opportunity on Mountain Drive with convenient access to Montecito, the Upper East, and downtown Santa Barbara.
