Property Description
"Villa Pelican"
Montecito Seaside Estate
Ocean, island and coastline views provide drama for this extraordinary Montecito beachfront estate known as “Villa Pelican”. Located in one of Southern California’s seaside enclaves, this estate of a bygone era offers seven bedrooms, ten baths, spacious public rooms and privacy seldom found with its gated beach with fully equipped cabana, one bedroom, one bath guest house, and 165’ +/- beach frontage. Adjacent parcel offers a pool and plans for a four bedroom home with a four car garage to create unparalleled potential for a complete oceanfront estate compound in which to enjoy Santa Barbara’s famed lifestyle.
Entrance
From the gated entry beyond the main Fernald Cove gate, one is drawn toward a tiled wall fountain with stone fish accents. Follow the stone steps and bridge over a koi pond with more fountains, and continue through a gated arbor covered with trumpet vines. One can enjoy the serenity of the interior courtyard with its fountains and resident bird statuary from a built-in tiled bench. Stately palms are scattered throughout the hedged entry gardens and colorful potted geraniums can be seen on the balcony of this gracious Monterey-style estate.
