Condition: The primary estate was built in the 1920s, making it over 100 years old. The listing description explicitly states it's an 'aging primary estate' that 'may necessitate substantial investment for modernization, upgrades, and ongoing maintenance to align with contemporary luxury expectations.' This indicates a need for significant rehabilitation, likely including major system overhauls (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and extensive renovations to kitchens and bathrooms, which are not shown in the provided images. The lack of interior photos for a property of this age and price point often suggests the interiors are not a selling feature in their current condition.

About this home

A private quarter mile beach at the heart of a wildly diverse landscape: 219 acres envisioned as centers of community as diverse as two Chumash villages, a cattle ranch, a racehorse Mecca, an agricultural wonder, and an institute of cultural enrichment. Notable owners have chosen different ways to mine the onsite riches of sand, ocean, views, residences, historical structures, farming, commercial operations, tax considerations, patronage possibilities, and family legacy options. When you visit you'll develop a love for how something newly imagined by you will become a part of the story of this historically extraordinary spot. Enveloped by unparalleled coastal access, this heritage property is at the heart of an ever-evolving landscape and features a 1920s 5bd/6.5ba heirloom estate, income-producing ranch house, aquaculture operation, thriving non-profit, stables, farmland, event space & more. Long a place of possibility, with history steeped in Chumash culture & cattle ranching, this coastal legacy offers a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of California's past while shaping its future.
