MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
High Ongoing Maintenance & Operating Costs: An estate of this size, luxury, and oceanfront location will inherently incur substantial ongoing costs for landscaping, property taxes, insurance, and general upkeep.
Exposure to Coastal Elements & Environmental Risks: Oceanfront properties are subject to increased wear and tear from salt air, potential for coastal erosion, and evolving environmental regulations, which could impact future development or repairs.
Lack of Explicit Cooling System: The property description does not explicitly mention a cooling system, which, despite Santa Barbara's mild climate, might be a consideration for some buyers expecting central air conditioning in a luxury resort-style estate.
