For the bold, the imaginative, and the forward-thinking. This exceptional opportunity encompasses a combined 2.84 acres in Montecito, comprising three legal parcels. The site has a notable history characterized by a previous landslide. Extensive engineering measures and hillside reinforcement were completed in 2012 resulting in both obstacles and significant potential for innovative development. While conventional building methods may prove challenging due to the geological history, this land offers a rich foundation for creative design and strategic land use. Situated just minutes from Montecito's renowned beaches, schools and amenities, this property provides privacy along with convenient proximity. It presents an invitation to reimagine possibilities.
