Upon entering, the home immediately reveals sweeping views of the ocean. Grand living and entertaining spaces are thoughtfully designed with a natural flow between rooms, creating a home that feels both elegant and highly livable.

Nestled in a peaceful Montecito setting with mountain and ocean views, this farmhouse-style home offers privacy and relaxed coastal living on ~1.1± acres along a gentle creek. Vaulted beamed ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and open living spaces connect the living, family, dining, and kitchen areas. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a center island, a built-in refrigerator, and a pantry. The flexible floor plan includes 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, plus a walk-out basement with a home theater and separate entry.

This Summerland coastal split-level home is all about view, light, privacy, and potential. From the moment you enter, your eye is drawn outward to an expansive panorama of ocean, islands, and sunsets that feels almost cinematic. Large banks of windows on multiple levels frame the ocean and islands. Instead of powerlines, rooftops, or other visual clutter, you see open sky and the distant curve of the coastline, creating a sense of breathing room that is increasingly rare along California’s coast. The split-level design steps gently down with the site, allowing each level to claim its own vantage point on the ocean and beach. Main living spaces are oriented toward the view, large windows that flood the interior with natural light and connect you visually to the outdoors from morning to night. Whether you’re seated in the living room, cooking in the kitchen, or stepping out onto a deck, the ocean remains a constant presence. At night, the distant sparkle of coastal lights and the subtle glow of the horizon give the home a different, more intimate ambience. Privacy is one of this property’s defining qualities. There are no powerlines crossing the view corridor, so your gaze runs uninterrupted from the house out to the water. Just as important, there are no neighboring homes looking into the living spaces or outdoor areas. You can open blinds, throw open windows, and use decks or patios without feeling on display. The home itself is a fixer-upper, and that is a major part of its appeal. The next owner has the opportunity to reshape the property according to their own priorities, taste, and lifestyle. The structure and layout offer a solid canvas: split levels that can be opened up or reconfigured, spaces that could become great rooms, home offices, guest suites, or media dens, and circulation patterns that invite creative rethinking. Even in its current fixer state, the home is not a blank shell. Fresh interior paint and carpet give the rooms a clean, bright feel, making it easier to imagine your own furnishings, art, and color schemes. For buyers who prefer to phase their projects, this is ideal: you can live in the space, learn how the light moves, how you naturally use each level, and then design remodels that respond to your real-world experience of the house. For those thinking in terms of value, this property represents both lifestyle and upside. The combination of incredible ocean, island, and sunset views, an adaptable split-level layout, abundant windows, and rare privacy creates a foundation that is difficult, if not impossible to replicate with new construction in similar coastal locations. Investing in thoughtful updates here means you are improving a home whose location and view will always be in demand. Whether your vision leans toward a sleek contemporary retreat, a warm modern coastal cottage, or a more eclectic, artistic space, the bones and the site can support a wide range of architectural and interior directions. Summerland is a small, laid-back bluff-top town just minutes from Santa Barbara, with big Pacific and Channel Islands views, an artsy village feel, easy beach access, and a tight-knit coastal community. Ultimately, this property offers more than just a house with a view. It offers a daily experience of coastal light and landscape, a sense of privacy that is hard to find, and a structure whose fixer status is an invitation rather than a drawback. The new paint and new carpet create a livable starting point, while the rest of the home stands ready for your ideas, your creativity, and your long-term plans. For buyers seeking both an inspiring place to live and a meaningful opportunity to build equity through thoughtful improvements, this split-level ocean, island, and sunset view home is an exceptional opportunity, a coastal canvas waiting for its next owner to write the next chapter.
