“No longer tethered to the office, luxury homebuyers from big cities are seeking out roomier, more remote locales.”


Beginning in mid-March, stay-at-home orders were given to slow the spread of Coronavirus, prompting big city residents to rethink where they wanted to be and what they wanted to have access to in their homes. Without having to commute to the office, there was no need to live in such crowded, intense places. 

Wealthy west coasters have been flooding to remote areas in search of privacy, vast grounds, and luxurious amenities that cannot be afforded in densely populated cities. Buyers are seeking comfortable homes where they can easily camp out the remainder of these uncertain times. 

In search of a swimming pool, consistent sunshine, and easy access to hiking trails? Look no further than Montecito.


Exquisite pools and cabanas will transport you to a private, tropical oasis.

The cabana is perfect for afternoon lounging, as a fabulous fitness facility, or as a additional guest house.


Enjoy Santa Barbara’s idyllic year round sunshine at Midwood, where you may opt to relax in the wonder of your own magical retreat, sheltered away from the hectic pace of the rest of the world, while also being in close proximity to beaches, luxury resorts, and Montecito’s Upper and Lower Villages.

The landscaping circles completely around the house, with many additional highlights including formal vegetable gardens, and even an enchanting tree house perched in one of the majestic live oak trees.
