The new owners are notable philanthropists who have no intention of developing the 350-acre property.
Perched above the street, the nearly half-acre property at 1336 Manitou Road provides an expansive feel while also enjoying immense privacy. Come see for yourself at the open houses this weekend.
Noteworthy new listings also include Cielito three-bedroom in need of a good zhush; classic Lower Riviera charm on Grand Avenue; 1940 Moody Sisters cottage; 1930 cottage given a cute makeover; oceanfront Gaviota Coast lot for $1.6 million; and more.
This immaculate, single-level residence on a corner lot calls to mind the San Ysidro Ranch: it offers a blend of refined elegance and modern comfort, with a seamless indoor-outdoor flow and mature olive and citrus trees.
Other recent news: Efforts to curtail Hot Springs trail visitors; Channel Islands National Park layoffs; two old Summerland Beach oil wells have been resealed (but hundreds remain); a historian’s Santa Barbara book recommendations; update on the Ava Hotel in Paso Robles.
