SANTA BARBARA, CA 93110
This Traditional French Country Estate is listed at $11,900,000, priced fairly at its $11,881,931 Fair Market Value. Holding a Condition Rating of 4, the 1.9-acre property provides a private Sanctuary featuring Panoramic Views of the ocean and mountains, complemented by an expansive heated patio and spa. While the 5,575-square-foot interior showcases quality 1987 details, the era-specific design and decommissioned pool offer a clear path to customize this Lifestyle retreat. Featuring a 4-car garage and guest studio, this is an ideal home for Luxury Owner-Occupants or Visionary Families seeking a customizable Santa Barbara legacy.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property, built in 1987, falls within the 25-40 year age bracket typical of the 'fair' category. While the exterior and grounds appear meticulously maintained with high-quality stone work and panoramic views, the listing and AI analysis highlight era-specific design elements that require modernization to meet current ultra-luxury standards. The gourmet kitchen and interior features are described as original quality details rather than recent renovations, and the decommissioning of the pool (filled with turf) represents a significant loss of a major luxury component that would require substantial investment to reinstate.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 83199, living area = 5418.
The estate offers exceptional views encompassing the La Cumbre Country Club, the Santa Ynez mountains, and the Pacific Ocean from its elevated 1.9-acre lot.
The property includes a rare 4-car garage, a separate guest studio apartment, a private gym, and a dedicated office, providing high utility for a luxury lifestyle.
