A quiet coastal compound unfolds over 1.08 serene acres, the two-residence property brings together architectural intention, curated gardens, and a panorama that moves from mountains to ocean.
Salt air, citrus groves, and a pace that leans toward presence over urgency.
Between Carpinteria’s beaches, Summerland’s shops, and Montecito’s calm refinement, this stretch of coastline balances ease with living with intention.
Designed by esteemed local architect Don Bensen, the main residence exudes mid-century modern style.
Cedar siding, clean lines, and floor to ceiling windows draw nature in.
Each bedroom in this midcentury modern home offers its own inviting personality, from the garden-view primary suite with vaulted ceilings to the serene guest room layered in natural textures. A playful third bedroom features ocean-inspired wallpaper and a cozy workspace.
Lovingly restored to its original aesthetic, it now opens to a layered landscape of beauty and ease: over 50 fruit trees, ancient Coastal Live Oaks, a picturesque chicken coop, stunning mountain views and ocean peeks in a natural wonderland.
Interior spaces flow with quiet sophistication, while outdoor moments unfold on a tea deck, in the hot tub, or in the spacious backyard.
Every detail reflects the timeless appeal of mid-century living, thoughtful, understated, and effortlessly connected to its natural surroundings.
Completed in 2022, the second home (ADU) is modern, light-filled, and entirely self-contained.
With vaulted ceilings and an open plan that connects seamlessly to a generous ocean-view deck, the home invites effortless entertaining or everyday retreat.
Three bedrooms, two baths, and a separate entrance tucked behind privacy landscaping make it ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or turnkey rental income.
Surrounded by views, quiet, and intention, it offers the freedom to live expansively while remaining independent from the main residence.
Together, they create a rare kind of compound: grounded in nature, thoughtfully composed, and shining quietly along the coast.
