About this home
Framed by the dramatic beauty of Toro Canyon, this gated contemporary retreat rests on
approximately 10± acres, capturing extraordinary views across the Channel Islands, Santa
Barbara Harbor, the curving coastline, and the surrounding mountains. A beautifully curated
landscape, reminiscent of a botanical garden, creates a gracious private approach to a residence
that feels peaceful, open, and deeply connected to its natural setting, offering a rare estate-scale
opportunity within this coveted coastal enclave, just moments from Summerland and the coast.
Designed to celebrate the landscape, the residence opens to broad vistas and generous outdoor
spaces, with ocean and mountain outlooks unfolding from many of the principal living areas.
Warm architectural lines, natural cedar ceiling and textural details lend character to the interiors, while all-new windows and doors frame the scenery and draw light into the home. The living areas are comfortable and gracious, creating an inviting environment for quiet moments at home or elegant entertaining.
Outdoors, the property becomes a private view sanctuary. A fire pit terrace takes in the coastal panorama, where the harbor, islands, and coastline create a remarkable backdrop from morning
light to sunset. The patio trellis with automated sun-shade curtains offers a beautifully sheltered place for dining and lounging, while thoughtfully illuminated landscaping enhances the mature
palms, sculptural succulents, olive and fruit trees, and the natural contours of the land. The home has been thoughtfully updated with remodeled bathrooms, Lutron lighting, remote shades, a soft water system, satellite, custom cell extender, and electric vehicle charging.
Additional features include a full-house backup generator, upgraded electrical service, enhanced water storage, propane capacity, and a Frontline Fire Protection system, offering added comfort
and peace of mind. Beyond the residence, the land is one of the property's most compelling attributes. Across approximately 10± acres, oak meadows, drought-tolerant plantings, private-company water wells, and a private hiking trail with a seasonal creek create a lifestyle that feels peaceful, self sufficient, and deeply connected to the land. With room to explore future additions such as a
guest house, ADU, or pool, this Toro Canyon retreat offers a unique combination of privacy, scale, views, and proximity to Montecito, Summerland, and Carpinteria....
