Golden Quadrangle. Endless Possibilities. Celebrating the best of Montecito, this ocean & mountain view residence invites a lifestyle of nature, culture & community. Set on over a gated acre in prime Montecito, the location shares the privacy commanded by some of the most significant estates in town, yet defines the ease of life for which your friends are moving to Montecito: minutes to both Villages, schools, trails, and beaches. A distinctive, contemporary aesthetic and a single-level, ranch-style layout present a rare opportunity: embrace the home's existing modernism, or transform the residence into your custom Modern Farmhouse dream with intentional cosmetic upgrades. With a rare combination of views, privacy and an in-town location, 796 Hot Springs is poised for your next chapter.
