Property Description

A Contemporary Montecito Masterpiece with Star Power! Tucked into the serene hills of Montecito and within the coveted Cold Spring School District, 520 Barker Pass Road is where architectural pedigree meets laid-back California cool. With infinity-sign shaped pool and combined tropical and desert landscaping, it has a nostalgic, Palm-Springs vibe: it is a great home to raise a family, or entertainer's delightful vacation home. On the market for the first time ever, this five-bed, four-bath, 3200 sq foot dream comes with two private, double-room studios, that blend seamlessly with the flow of the house: they can simply be extra bedrooms, spaces for art and work, or perfect for guests, in-laws, or income. (approx. $60,000 a year) Designed by "architect to the stars" Bob Easton whose A-list roster includes Barbra Streisand, Michael Douglas, Michael J. Fox, and Beach Boys legends, this is more than a home; it's a work of art. Easton's vision blurs the lines between indoors and out, creating a natural flow from one moment to the next. With direct outdoor access from every bedroom and six patios to chase the sun (or shade), you're always steps away from mountain views, flowering gardens, or a sparkling, sky-blue pool.Inside, you'll find Easton's hallmark mix of beauty and purpose in the Italian marble, white limestone, travertine, and warm bamboo floors, paired with clever, comfort-driven touches like plush carpet in select bedrooms. The great room centers around a gas/wood fireplace; the formal dining room with built-in wet bar was made for everything from intimate dinners to all-night conversations. A softly lit library/music room/office offers a creative retreat, while the galley kitchen, complete with pass-through window, keeps the chef connected to the party without losing focus. This home is also a storage lover's dream, thanks to co-designer and longtime owner Louise "Closet Lady" Gerber, a local artist who's built over 1,000 custom closets. She packed this place with more drawers than you've likely ever seen in a single home34 in the kitchen, 24 in the master bath, plus endless smart storage throughout. Three central bedrooms form a secure, family-friendly layout, while the primary suite delivers two walk-in closets (one once a writing room), and a bath with double sinks, green-view mirror, and separate shower/commode. Two attached studios bring next-level flexibility: East Studio: Two stories, kitchen, bath, living space ideal for guests or work-from-home. West Studio: Above the garage with remodeled bath, barn-door bookshelf, and treetop views. Set on nearly an acre, the property is lush with agave, succulents, and mature trees. Half the land is still open: ripe for a second home, greenhouse, orchard, or epic garden. The remarkable fossil-tiled entryway sets the tone, while patios invite indoor-outdoor living at every turn. The pool takes center stage, powered by eco-friendly solar. Parking is next-level circular driveway plus additional drive, two-car garage: space for up to 14 vehicles (yes, RVs and boats welcome). Fenced and gated for pet and kid friendly home. Recent updates include fresh paint, new furnace, brand-new water heater (with service contract), updated lighting, and outlets making move-in easy. You're on a level street just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara, Coast Village Road, Montecito's Upper Village, and iconic Butterfly Beach. This is more than a home: it's a canvas for inspired living!
