Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Fair
TeardownExcellent

Property is moderate renovation needed.

Built in 1954, this Kem Weber-designed mid-century home is well-preserved and architecturally significant but remains largely in its vintage state. While the interior features like cork flooring and tongue-and-groove ceilings are in good condition for their age, the property lacks modern luxury updates to its infrastructure and systems. The listing highlights its potential as a 'canvas for the future' or a guest retreat, indicating that the primary value lies in the land and architectural pedigree rather than contemporary finishes.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • High Available Lot Utilization

    The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 229561, living area = 2017.

  • Development Potential

    The offering includes two legal parcels across 5.27 acres, providing a rare opportunity to build a secondary estate or a multi-residence compound in a premier Montecito location.

  • Architectural Pedigree

    Designed by renowned mid-century architect Kem Weber, the home features iconic design elements such as tongue-and-groove vaulted ceilings and walls of glass that appeal to architectural collectors.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =229561, other record lot size in square feet = 155944.

  • Limited Living Space

    At just over 2,000 square feet with only two bedrooms, the current structure may be considered undersized for the $5.5M+ price point, likely requiring expansion for many buyers.

  • Vintage Infrastructure

    Built in 1954, the home may require significant investments in modernizing systems, insulation, and energy efficiency to meet the expectations of contemporary luxury living.

About 1030/1010 E Mountain Drive

In Montecito, where ocean and mountain views create a backdrop of rare beauty, lies a property unlike any other. Set on 5.27± acres across two legal parcels, this offering is more than a home. It is a chance to create the next chapter of something extraordinary. Designed by the renowned Kem Weber, the mid-century residence radiates timeless character. Tongue and groove vaulted ceilings, cork flooring, and iconic walls of glass capture the light and landscape, creating a home that feels both rooted in design history and alive with possibility. A generous terrace opens into nature, where oaks and open sky frame sweeping views of the Pacific. The true allure of this property lies in the land itself. With two buildable parcels, the possibilities are as expansive as the views. The existing home could become a private guest retreat while a new vision rises beside it. A compound of multiple residences could take shape, united by gardens and terraces. Or the property could remain just as it is, an inspiring blend of privacy, beauty, and potential. This is not only a home but a canvas for the future. Live comfortably today, dream boldly for tomorrow, and embrace one of Montecito's rarest opportunities. Here you hold two lots and the promise of one extraordinary future.
