Some homes are updated. This one was reimagined. Taken down to the studs and rebuilt over 18 months, this Bonnymede townhome pairs sunlit, south-facing rooms with warm marble, brass, and oak. The jewel-box powder room, wrapped in a sea-green wall covering with hidden vintage map details, stops guests in their tracks. Two bedrooms, two and a half baths, central air conditioning, and impeccable taste throughout. It's a rare find in this gated oceanfront enclave. Respected general contractor Manzo Construction, Inc. brought care to every detail of the approximately 1,476-square-foot home. The work is done. Simply unpack, then head down to the beach. Light sets the tone. Fleetwood floor-to-ceiling windows and sliders open to the patio and fill the living areas with sunshine all day, while electric shades soften the glow at the touch of a button. A linear fireplace anchors the living room, and beside it a floating oak staircase rises, each tread softly lit. The kitchen pairs custom cabinetry and marble counters with new Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances. Upstairs, wide-plank oak floors lead to two primary suites, one opening to a balcony. Both baths are fully remodeled with marble counters, and the primary bath adds a steam shower, a jetted soaking tub, and a TOTO Neorest toilet. Built-ins, custom closets, new HVAC, in-ceiling speakers, a stacking washer and dryer, a sunny garden patio, and two garage spaces complete the picture. Then there's Bonnymede itself: private beach access, a pool, spa, and tennis court, and garden paths to the shore, all behind a gate staffed 24/7. Butterfly Beach, the Biltmore and its Coral Casino, the Rosewood Miramar, and Coast Village Road are all moments away. For anyone who has been waiting for the right Bonnymede home, this is the one.

Rare Montecito legacy land opportunity. Set on approx. 239 acres above Park Lane, this parcel offers a dramatic hilltop homesite with panoramic ocean, island, mountain, and canyon views. The primary development opportunity centers around a private view site accessed by deeded easement, creating the potential for an extraordinary estate in a setting of exceptional scale and privacy. Much of the surrounding acreage is natural, steep, and traversed by well-known local trail corridors, including the Romero Canyon and Buena Vista trail systems, with the Edison Catway connecting toward Romero and San Ysidro. This creates a compelling dual opportunity: develop a premier Montecito view estate while exploring potential conservation strategies for the balance of the land. A future owner may wish to investigate a conservation easement, partial preservation structure, or partnership with a conservation organization, potentially offsetting capital investment while preserving the property's open-space character. Ideal for a spec builder, end-user builder, conservation-minded buyer, or philanthropic land steward
