Perched in the hills above Montecito and Santa Barbara, this remarkable 27-acre parcel offers dramatic city and ocean views. The lot combines the pristine natural beauty of native boulders, manzanita and oak trees with the opportunity to build your dream home on a flat building pad of approximately 0.15 acres. From this elevated vantage point, sweeping panoramic views stretch out to the Pacific Ocean and the Channel Islands beyond. The privacy, tranquility and sense of seclusion are unmatched, yet the conveniences and draw of Santa Barbara and Montectio are just an easy 15 minute drive.
