Prestigious Historic Montecito Beach Front Estate

Evocative of estates on the Cote d'Azur but replete with breathtaking "Big Sur" giant Monterey Cyprus-enhanced views of Fernald Cove, the sunset-enriched coastline, dramatic Rincon Mountain, and the Channel Islands, this unique Montecito double-gated beach-front estate affords exceptional privacy, security, and exclusivity.

Located on the most private of Montecito beaches, the sumptuously landscaped estate with 90-year-old specimen trees, sparkling fountains, emerald lawns and inviting koi pond entry bridge, is enhanced by a historic recently-renovated approx. 6,400 sq. ft. Monterey Colonial main residence with 7 bedrooms, 7 baths, 2 powder rooms, and large public rooms.

On approximately 0.7 acres, it affords a three car garage, ample guest parking, and, per present-day building restrictions, improvements currently impossible to obtain: a 1 bedroom, 1 bath guesthouse/gatehouse, enchanting rock-walled beach-side cabana with fireplace, bath and dressing room, and built-in bar-b-q, sea wall, as well the only fenced beach area in Montecito.

The estate's beach enclave that has hosted performances of immortal Hollywood stars, presents approx. 115 ft. of beach frontage, and can be easily opened for full beach access, or closed to ensure privacy and/or to provide an extraordinary safe haven for children/animals steps from the ocean.

A Coastal Development Permit is also in hand for even further enhancements to the main house of this prestigious beach front estate.
