About This Home

As of December 2023

Never before in the MLS & owned by the same family for over 45 yrs, gain access to one of Montecito's most peaceful country hideaways. Discover what it's like to live in tandem with nature as you explore the private 6.41 acre property to find panoramic ocean & mountain views, meandering creek, & a hidden island. 1 of 3 structures on the property, the 3bd/3ba single-level rancher balances classic country living w/ breathtaking ocean & canyon views. 1 bed, 1 bath guest cottage sits alongside Toro Canyon Creek. Additionally, prepare to feel inspired in the metal-clad barn currently used as both a workshop & garage where endless possibility awaits. At the top of the property is a potential building site w/ views that span the horizon. Here, nostalgia for a simpler era can now become reality.
