More Insights
Built in 2006 (20 years old).
Condition: Built in 2006, this property presents as virtually new, showcasing an 'incredible design' and 'luxe amenities' as described. The images reveal a state-of-the-art kitchen with high-end, modern appliances, marble slab countertops and backsplash, custom dark cabinetry, and contemporary lighting. The bathrooms are equally luxurious, featuring expansive glass showers with multiple heads, modern tubs, and premium stone tiling. Throughout the home, high-quality flooring (marble, dark and light wood), elegant light fixtures, and pristine finishes are evident. The presence of advanced systems like solar, a generator, and greywater irrigation, along with extensive amenities (gym, theater, pool, guest house), further underscores its top-tier condition. The property appears to have either undergone a very recent extensive renovation or has been meticulously maintained and updated to current luxury standards, with no visible deferred maintenance.

Pros & Cons

Sustainable & Self-Sufficient Features: Equipped with solar, a generator, greywater irrigation, private well, organic gardens, and chicken coops, providing an eco-conscious and independent living experience.
Prime Montecito Location & Flat Grounds: Located in the exclusive Montecito area, featuring rare and highly desirable flat grounds that enhance usability and property value.
Versatile Entertaining & Living Spaces: Designed for both intimate living and large-scale events (accommodating over 200 guests), with seamless indoor-outdoor flow and a convenient main-level primary suite.
Cons
Extremely High Price Point: The list price of nearly $30 million significantly restricts the potential buyer pool to an ultra-luxury market segment.
Niche Appeal of Self-Sufficiency Features: While a strength for some, the extensive 'off-grid' and agricultural elements (e.g., chicken coops, large organic gardens) may not appeal to all ultra-luxury buyers, potentially narrowing market interest.
High Ongoing Maintenance Costs: The expansive grounds, numerous luxury amenities, and complex sustainable systems will likely incur substantial ongoing maintenance, staffing, and operational expenses.
