Behind the Hedges
Summer in Montecito’s Lower Village doesn’t follow a schedule. It unfolds through familiar routines and quiet moments. A stop at Renaud’s. An hour at Butterfly Beach. And somewhere between iced lattes and evening strolls, real estate happens — sometimes quietly.
This is a neighborhood that values convenience, privacy, and a certain low-key luxury; an energy that draws buyers in. Over the past year, around 35 homes have sold with an average sales price of approximately $6.06M. However the four highest sales, including a $20M deal on Tiburon Bay Lane, happened off market.
With only a few standout homes currently available, each one feels like a rare opportunity:
240 Miramar Avenue | $17,950,000
A classic 1.9-acre Hamptons-style Hedgerow compound with two gated entrances, a pool, and a bocce court.
1077 Summit Road | $8,250,000
A botanical dream — a 5-bedroom oasis set on an acre of lush gardens, featuring a private guest house and timeless design.
1520 Willina Lane | $3,895,000
A 2 bedroom Hedgerow cottage with character, privacy, and perfect scale — a true hideaway.
Inside knowledge continues to drive momentum. In this storybook neighborhood, timing and local expertise make all the difference.
