About this House

Unobstructed views of the Ocean, Channel Islands, and the Santa Barbara Harbor make this Montecito property very desirable. The lot backs up to the Los Padres National Forest insuring a private setting, but conveniently only minutes from the Montecito Upper Village facilities. Utilities to property include; water lines, gas, underground electrical conduit. The developer has final architectural approvals for a 5455 square foot home and the structural engineering is complete and ready for building submittal. There's still time to incorporate your design ideas before starting construction. The bifold doors from the great room, kitchen, bar, den, and bedroom # 1 will all open onto the 140 lineal / 1300 square foot covered deck with ocean views to the south and west. The master bedroom has spectacular ocean views from its private deck also. The infinity pool, outdoor kitchen, and exposed wood beam ceilings on the covered decks will definitely accent the open floorplan and grand entry. The 3 stop elevator allows you access to all levels of the home including the 940 SF attached garage. The lower floor includes a over sized game room, passive media room, plus a large built-in bar area with an attached wine room. The lower bedroom can double as a secondary master bedroom, executive office, or large guest room.

The pass thru window from the upper bar makes it extremely convenient when entertaining on the pool level. The see thru fireplace in the great room and entry deck will prompt almost as much excitement as the ocean view.
