Located on esteemed upper San Ysidro Road, just around the corner from the iconic San Ysidro Ranch, an unparalleled opportunity awaits to craft a sprawling dream compound, limited only by imagination. Embracing approximately 13.02 picturesque acres, adorned with rolling green hills and majestic specimen trees, this estate is perfectly sited and captures sweeping views of the Santa Ynez Mountains, the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands beyond. The property, recently entitled by a Vested Tentative Tract Map authorizing four (4) three+ acre estate site parcels, presents the rarest property ever offered for sale in Montecito’s Golden Quadrangle. This expansive property invites the new owner to explore the realm of possibilities, whether establishing a single estate compound, with enchanting gardens, state-of-the-art equestrian facilities, and vineyard on one or more of the parcels, with rights to later sell undivided parcels, or constructing a private community of four (4) new-build estates, served by a gated semi-private common driveway. The vast acreage serves as an unrestrained canvas, ready for transformation to fulfill the dreams of even the most discerning. Accessed via an existing 200+ yard secluded driveway, affording utmost privacy from the outside world, the property’s existing residence, developed over 40 years by the late Hollywood star Stuart Whitman, features a hacienda-style main house with two (2) separate guesthouses, caretaker cottage, a pool, and a tennis court. Imported Saltillo tiles from Mexico grace the entertaining patios, pool area, and walking paths, weaving a seamless connection with the estate’s lush surroundings. This estate is just moments away from the renowned Santa Barbara Polo Club, The Coral Casino, The Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel, and a short stroll to Montecito’s Upper and Lower Villages, award-winning schools, hiking and horse trails and more. Hollywood history, abundance and rarity converge to create an opportunity that transcends boundaries in the heart of Montecito’s most coveted locale.
