Tucked beneath a canopy of mature oaks and surrounded by the quiet hush of nature, the enchanting 1.05-acre property at 1067 E. Mountain Drive offers a rare blend of privacy, romance, and potential. The existing three-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage feels like a hidden retreat, evoking a slower pace and a connection to the land. Come see for yourself at the open houses this Saturday and Sunday, August 16 and 17, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Sunlight filters through the trees, illuminating open, level spaces ideal for expanding the home’s footprint or creating garden paths and outdoor sanctuaries. Birdsong and the gentle rustle of leaves provide a soundtrack to daily life, grounding you in a deep sense of place. A private outdoor sauna nestled among oaks offers a peaceful space to unwind and reconnect.

The location offers both seclusion and convenience, enjoying close proximity to some of Montecito’s most treasured destinations, including the trailheads to serene canyon hikes, the world-renowned Lotusland gardens, the storied San Ysidro Ranch, and all the charm and essentials of the Upper Village. Being in the sought-after Cold Spring School District adds even more value.
To help bring the possibilities to life, architectural renderings offer a glimpse into how this special setting could be transformed into a larger, modern retreat while staying true to its natural character.
Whether thoughtfully updated or gently expanded, 1067 E. Mountain Drive offers a rare chance to shape a personal sanctuary in one of Montecito’s most naturally beautiful settings with design inspiration ready to guide your vision.
1067 E. Mountain Drive is offered at $2,999,500. Come to the open houses this Saturday and Sunday, August 16 and 17, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Or to arrange a private visit, contact the Easter Team of Berkshire Hathaway at 805-570-0403 or [email protected].
