About this home

For the first time on the market since 1947, this legendary property offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build your dream home in one of Santa Barbara's premier beach communities. Nestled on a generous 0.23-acre lot in the highly coveted West Mesa neighborhood, this property is just steps from the sand and the majestic bluff-top trails of the Douglas Family Preserve. The expansive parcel features two existing structures ready for a complete reimagining: a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom main home with an additional flexible room used as a bedroom, and a separate studio auxiliary building complete with a loft and full bathroom. While the existing structures have fallen into disrepair, they present a rare and highly valuable ''blank canvas'' in a neighborhood where buildable footprints are almost impossible to find. Embrace the ultimate surf, sunset, and authentic coastal lifestyle. Bring your architect, your vision, and a fresh palette to create your private bliss in paradise....
