Behind the gates of 1285 E. Mountain Drive in Montecito, on one acre of beautiful grounds, is a large, contemporary-style home with sweeping ocean and island views. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the residence has an abundance of natural light, spacious rooms, and indoor-outdoor flow. Come see for yourself at the open house this Saturday, May 24, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
The expansive living room features a vaulted coffered ceiling and, flanking a fireplace, a pair of triple-panel sliding glass doors that lead to a pair of balconies, providing ocean panoramas over verdant hedges and treetops.
The versatile layout allows myriad possibilities such as a family room, media room, office, sunroom, spa, gym, or yoga or art studio. Moreover, besides the luxurious primary and guest bedroom suites, there’s a comfortable guest or service wing.

The dazzling rear grounds host meticulously landscaped French parterre-style gardens, lawns, and a delightful pond, all bordered by traditional red brick walls. The result is a tranquil oasis just moments from fine dining, boutique shopping, and scenic hiking trails.
Adjacent to the existing home, the approximately one-acre buildable parcel at 1297 E. Mountain Drive is also available for purchase and development. Opportunities abound here, including the construction and sale of a separate home with the same spectacular ocean and mountain views, creation of a second residence as part of a private compound, or expansion of the existing home and grounds to produce a truly world-class Montecito estate.
1285 E. Mountain Drive is offered at $7,995,000, and 1297 E. Mountain Drive at $3,000,000; the two can be purchased together for $10,950,000. An open house is being held this Saturday, May 24, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Or to schedule a visit, contact Cristal Clarke of Berkshire Hathaway at 805-886-9378 or [email protected].
