Sea Ranch Montecito*

Montecito's coastal setting brings Hammond's Beach and Coast Village Road within walking distance, while 4 acres of gardens give Sea Ranch Montecito room to unfold. Originally built in 1903, this 5,000-square-foot estate centers on a historic water tower, a two-story sandstone fireplace, and an indoor-outdoor layout made for groups of up to 12. The result is a Southern California gathering place with history in its walls and space in every direction. What You'll Love About Sea Ranch Montecito • The original farm water tower rises as a three-story tower beside the historic home, giving the estate its defining silhouette and a story guests notice as soon as they arrive. • A pool with lap lane and Baja shelf, built-in 10-person spa, dry and steam barrel saunas, and a poolside cabana shape the outdoor experience. • Sleeps 12 across 6 bedrooms, including three primary suites, a twin bedroom, and two cottage bedrooms. • A professional kitchen, outdoor kitchen, fire pits, and multiple dining areas keep meals and conversation moving between the house and gardens. • Swings, play structures, an in-ground trampoline, bocce ball, badminton, darts, ping-pong, and garden paths give the 4-acre grounds their own rhythm. Living & Dining The main living room gathers around a two-story sandstone fireplace built around the original blacksmith's furnace. Vaulted ceilings and generous sofas give the room a sense of scale without losing the warmth of its materials. Nearby dining areas make it easy to carry a meal from the professional kitchen to the table, then outside when the garden calls. Chef-Ready Kitchen Stainless steel appliances, wide counters, an espresso machine, ice machine, coffee grinder, and the practical equipment of a full professional kitchen support everything from a quick breakfast to a dinner for the entire group. The separate outdoor kitchen extends the cooking space toward the pool, where a 50-inch television and ample seating keep the cook part of the gathering. Outdoor Living The grounds are the heart of Sea Ranch Montecito. A heated pool includes a lap lane and Baja shelf, while the built-in spa seats up to 10. Two barrel saunas offer dry and steam experiences, and fire pits mark a natural place for conversation once everyone has left the water. Mature landscaping, organic vegetable and herb gardens, berry vines, and citrus trees add texture to the 4-acre setting. Recreation moves easily across the property. Bocce ball, badminton, darts, ping-pong, swings, play structures, yard games, and an in-ground trampoline give each part of the group a reason to head outside. The pool cottage, garden studio cottage, pergola, and poolside seating create smaller corners within the larger estate.
