Within this elite collection, two newly reimagined residences stand out, each turn-key and architecturally distinct.

At 3595 Padaro Lane, every line and finish has been reimagined. Architect Don Nulty, landscape architect James Hyatt Studio (San Ysidro Ranch & Four Seasons Biltmore), and interior designers Taylor + Langella Interior Design joined forces with master builder DD Ford Construction to deliver a full ground-up transformation that feels more like a luxury resort than a residence.

With +/- 100 feet of rare ocean frontage, exceptional views, a detached guest house, and a seamless connection between interior and horizon, the home balances architectural clarity with natural ease. White oak floors, quartzite stone, and layered plaster finishes create an atmosphere both tactile and tranquil, the Pacific framed as art.

Little Mountain in Montecito

There’s a new reason to dine in Montecito’s Upper Village. Little Mountain Montecito, the highly anticipated new restaurant from Chilean born chef Diego Moya, has opened its doors on San Ysidro Road, adding fresh energy to the Santa Barbara dining scene. Moya, known for his work at Casa Mono in New York and Astrid y Gastón in Lima, brings an ingredient driven, wood fired approach to California cuisine.

His seasonal menu highlights Montecito’s backyard bounty — think grilled kale with mojo de ajo, Santa Barbara sea urchin with winter citrus, and rainbow trout with maitake mushrooms. Designed by Andrew Cosbie, the restaurant’s warm terracotta tones, wood finishes, and open hearth create a space that feels effortlessly inviting.

With its focus on local ingredients, global technique, and timeless California style, Little Mountain is sure to become one of Montecito’s best new restaurants.
