A Montecito Revival
In September 2020, our client saw potential in a classic Mediterranean Montecito estate — great bones, premier location, breathtaking views, and plenty of room for a fresh vision. Today, 1465 East Mountain Drive stands completely transformed. Now listed at $13.5M, it’s a compelling example of what happens when thoughtful design meets inspired execution.
Across Montecito and Santa Barbara, we’ve been watching a quiet but steady shift. Renovations have moved beyond cosmetic refreshes; today’s homeowners are creating intentional spaces that reflect a lifestyle rooted in wellness, sustainability, and a seamless connection between indoors and out.
1465 EAST MOUNTAIN DRIVE | MONTECITO
This resort destination embodies that evolution.
What’s changed? Everything — from a custom kitchen and spa-inspired baths to a reimagined layout that brings light, flow, and harmony to every space. Outside, the transformation continues with a new pool and spa, expanded guest quarters, fruit trees, and energy-conscious upgrades including solar and backup power—blending beauty, function, and peace of mind.
This isn’t just a remodel — it’s a reinvention that checks all the boxes for today's buyer.
