Located in the most desirable section of Montecito's Golden Quadrangle, just below East Mountain Drive and half a mile above the quaint shops and cafes of the Upper Village, an unparalleled opportunity awaits to craft a sprawling compound without compromise. Embracing 13.02 irreplaceable acres of flat and gently rolling green hills and accessed via a 200+ yard citrus lined driveway to ensure utmost privacy, this ranch is perfectly sited and captures sweeping views of the Santa Ynez Mountains, the Pacific Ocean, and the Channel Islands beyond. Recently entitled by a Vested Tentative Tract Map authorizing four (4) three+ acre estate site parcels, inviting the new owner to establish a single estate on one or more of the parcels, with rights to later sell undivided parcels, or constructing a private community of four (4) new-build estates, served by a gated semi-private common driveway. Developed over 40 years by the late Hollywood leading man and real estate visionary Stuart Whitman, this is a ranch with scale from a bygone era you would expect to see much further inland and yet it's just around the corner from the iconic San Ysidro Ranch, and a short stroll to Montecito's Upper and Lower Villages, award-winning schools, hiking and horse trails and more. Whether imagining four separate 3+ acre estates, or a singular compound featuring a 6-hole golf loop, state of the art equestrian or wellness facilities, or a vineyard that can take advantage of the Golden Quadrangle's celebrated microclimate known the world over, Stuart Whitman Ranch is ready to fulfill the biggest dreams of even the most discerning.
