Santa Barbara, CA 93108
A quietly elegant Montecito retreat set on 1.36 acres, this private compound offers a sense of openness, ease, and connection to its surroundings. Once home to Hollywood legend Jane Russell, the 3,678 sq ft main residence sits on a private road and has been thoughtfully updated for contemporary living while preserving its original warmth and character. The property lives like a small estate with pool and spa, pool house, outdoor sports court, built-in BBQ, pergolas, and a fruit orchard. A one-bedroom guest house and studio apartment above the garage offer flexible accommodations, all just minutes from beaches and the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club.
Property is new construction or fully renovated.
The property has undergone an extensive high-end renovation that seamlessly integrates modern luxury with its original mid-century character. The interior features a professional-grade kitchen with a Viking range and contemporary cabinetry, designer bathrooms with high-quality mosaic tile and modern fixtures, and consistent wide-plank hardwood flooring throughout. All systems and finishes appear new or virtually new, meeting the highest standards for a move-in ready luxury estate.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 59242, living area = 3678.
The estate features a main residence, a detached one-bedroom guest house, and a studio apartment, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, staff, or multi-generational living.
Situated on 1.36 acres, the property offers a rare level of privacy and resort-style amenities, including a pool, spa, sports court, and a fruit orchard in a prime Montecito location.
Originally built in 1964, the property may require more intensive ongoing maintenance or further modernization of core systems compared to newer luxury constructions.
A recent price reduction from $8.25M suggests the property is still finding its footing in the current high-end market, potentially indicating a longer-than-average absorption period.
