About This Home

As of November 2025

Tucked beneath a canopy of mature oaks and surrounded by the quiet hush of nature, this enchanting 1.05-acre property offers a rare blend of privacy, romance, and potential. The existing 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage feels like a hidden retreat, evoking a slower pace and a connection to the land. Sunlight filters through the trees, illuminating open, level spaces ideal for expanding the home's footprint or creating garden paths and outdoor sanctuaries. Birdsong and the gentle rustle of leaves provide a soundtrack to daily life, grounding you in a deep sense of place. A private outdoor sauna nestled among the oaks offers a peaceful space to unwind and reconnect. To help bring the possibilities to life, architectural renderings are available - offering a glimpse into how this special setting could be transformed into a larger, modern retreat while staying true to its natural character. Moments from hiking trails and minutes to Montecito's Upper Village, the location offers both seclusion and convenience. It's a setting where weekends can be spent barefoot under the trees, and evenings are best enjoyed with the windows open to the breeze. The property enjoys close proximity to some of Montecito's most treasured destinations, including the trailheads to serene canyon hikes, the world-renowned Lotusland gardens, the storied San Ysidro Ranch, and all the charm and essentials of Montecito's Upper Village. Being in the sought-after Cold Spring School District adds even more value to this already special setting. Whether thoughtfully updated or gently expanded, 1067 East Mountain Drive offers a rare chance to shape a personal sanctuary in one of Montecito's most naturally beautiful settingswith design inspiration ready to guide your vision.
