About this home
It is here where the anchor drops. A one-of-a-kind masterpiece designed and rebuilt by a father (engineer) and son (carpenter) over a period of four years. No detail was overlooked in crafting this remarkable gem. The Thomas Jefferson is berthed in the beautiful and sought after Santa Barbara Harbor. As the Municipal Code has imposed restrictions on similar structures, it emphasizes the inherent value, exclusivity, and rarity of this floating home. Professional hand-crafted carpentry throughout; quartered and rift white oak floors and staircase, pops of burlwood, mahogany, brass, and wool, and marble countertops. Interior roof deck access with views for miles. Between the tint glazing and interior lighting options, it's easy to remain invisible indoors; keeping the inside and the outside.

Cons
Niche Market & Financing Challenges: As a floating home, it appeals to a very specific buyer demographic, potentially limiting the pool of interested parties and often presenting more complex financing hurdles compared to traditional real estate.
Unique Maintenance & Operational Costs: Floating homes typically require specialized maintenance (e.g., hull inspections, marine systems) and may incur ongoing slip fees or lease costs for the berth, which are distinct from traditional property expenses.
Lack of Land Ownership: Buyers acquire the structure and the right to berth, not the underlying land, which can be a significant distinction for some buyers accustomed to traditional real estate ownership.
