Along the serene shores of the Pacific, where ocean and sky stretch endlessly toward one another, a timeless Cape Cod-style estate embraces the essence of coastal living. Set on approximately 1.42 acres with an impressive 133 feet of ocean frontage within the prestigious gated Sand Point enclave near Montecito, this remarkable residence was thoughtfully designed by Paul Gray and represents a rare opportunity to experience the very best of seaside living. From the moment you arrive, it becomes clear that this is no ordinary beach property. The home’s setting, adjacent to the protected Salt Marsh estuary, offers an element of privacy and tranquility seldom found along the coast. The natural estuary, alive with graceful birdlife, not only provides a captivating daily connection to nature but also serves as a natural buffer from train and freeway noise. This unique position makes the property one of the quietest and most serene on the coastline – a sanctuary where life unfolds in harmony with the landscape. Inside, the home is designed to celebrate its setting. Crisp white walls, classic millwork, and expansive multi-pane windows frame breathtaking views of the Pacific and the stunning Santa Ynez Mountains beyond. Sunrises and sunsets become part of the daily rhythm, painting the horizon in dramatic hues. A rooftop deck offers a front-row seat to this ever-changing spectacle, where ocean breezes and starlit nights create unforgettable moments. The living room, anchored by a soaring cathedral ceiling and a dramatic stone fireplace, offers a warm and inviting place to gather, while the kitchen blends timeless beauty with functionality, creating a space designed for connection and celebration. Walls of glass in the adjoining dining area open to the horizon, where the sights and sounds of the sea become the backdrop for every meal. The primary suite is a serene retreat, with a glowing fireplace, sweeping ocean views, and windows framing the ever-shifting colors of sea and sky. Each day begins and ends with nature’s artistry unfolding just beyond the glass. Outdoor living is equally inspiring. The expansive wraparound deck and spa invite relaxation beside the waves, while a lap pool offers a peaceful vantage point to observe the birds and wildlife of the estuary, a daily reminder of the beauty and vitality that surrounds you. Every element of the landscape, from the Santa Ynez mountain range to the rhythmic tide, works in concert to create an atmosphere of calm and timeless elegance. This is more than a home. It is a lifestyle defined by beauty, privacy, and the natural world. With its rare location, sweeping mountain and ocean views, remarkable sense of peace, and connection to one of California’s most enchanting coastal landscapes, this ocean front Sand Point estate is a truly exceptional offering a place where every sunrise and sunset feels like a work of art.
