 FERNALD COVE BEACHFRONT ESTATE

With views enhanced by a rare century old Monterey cypress, this unique two story Monterey Colonial estate affords exceptional views of the Channel Islands and coastal mountains while offering a privacy seldom found on the beach in this seaside community.  Located on the most private of Montecito’s renowned beach areas, the landscaped estate with sparkling fountains, lawn areas, and inviting koi pond entry bridge, consists of approximately .7 acres with 115+/- feet of “on the sand” frontage.

The historic and recently renovated main residence has 7 bedrooms, 9 baths, and a most impressive ”Biltmore style” grand living room with panoramic ocean views.  There are improvements currently impossible to obtain per present day restrictions: a 1 bedroom, 1 bath guesthouse located at the entry gate and an enchanting stone beach cabana with fireplace, bath and dressing room on its own private enclosed beach.
