An Oceanfront Masterpiece in Prestigious Sand Point Beach Colony
Every once in a great while, a property emerges that transcends architecture and location to become something greater: a living expression of coastal California’s rarest treasures. This Sand Point oceanfront estate is precisely that – a place where luxury, nature, and artistry unite to create an unsurpassed elevated lifestyle experience.
Coastal Elegance and Architectural Grandeur
Offering an unparalleled retreat with approximately 133 feet of pristine Pacific Ocean frontage, this Paul Gray architectural masterpiece defines the peak of seaside luxury. The sprawling ~1.42-acre estate features a primary residence and a separate guest house, meticulously designed to satisfy the most sophisticated tastes.
Residents are treated to a symphony of natural beauty – from the rhythmic surf and golden horizons at dawn and dusk to the quiet majesty of mountain vistas. Combining absolute privacy with world-class amenities, this property offers a lifestyle of endless possibility and serene refinement.
A Tranquil Sanctuary Offering Singular Style, Security, and World-class Comfort
Along the pristine shoreline between Montecito and Carpinteria lies a coastal sanctuary of extraordinary beauty and craftsmanship. This Cape Cod–style oceanfront estate, crown jewel of the exclusive gated Sand Point Beach Colony, embodies the perfect balance of East Coast timelessness and West Coast ease.
With its extensive direct beach frontage, expansive ocean and mountain views, and an elegant guest residence, this property presents a rare opportunity to experience California’s central coast at its most refined.
A Coastal Retreat of Rare Refinement
From the moment one arrives, this residence exudes a quiet grandeur. Dark, richly stained hardwood floors flow throughout the home, their warmth a counterpoint to the crisp white walls and millwork that echo the soft tones of sand and sea. Multi-pane windows frame ever-changing vistas of the Pacific and the pristine Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve, bringing the outdoors gracefully inside.
Inspired Living and Entertaining Spaces
The home’s grand living room offers a spectacular setting for relaxation and entertaining. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the space beneath a cathedral ceiling, while glass doors open directly to the beachside deck where the sound of waves provides a natural soundtrack.
Adjacent, a library and den with a second fireplace invites quiet conversation or contemplation, while the formal dining room – with its built-in credenza, window seat, and ocean-facing wall of windows – creates an ambiance equally suited to intimate dinners or elegant gatherings.
A Gourmet Kitchen with Endless Views
At the heart of the home, the culinary center is both functional and visually stunning. Designed for the serious cook and casual entertainer alike, the kitchen features professional-grade stainless appliances, including dual Sub-Zero refrigerators, a large center island with prep and dining space, and a walk-in and butler’s pantry for seamless service.
White cabinetry, black marble counters, and a paneled cove ceiling with recessed lighting create an atmosphere of polished charm. A bow window-lined alcove frames the ocean beyond a stately marble farm sink, offering a view that transforms even the simplest task into a moment of serenity.
A Master Suite for the Senses
Luxury and tranquility converge in the primary suite, a coastal haven designed for rest and reflection. The vaulted ceiling with skylights and stone fireplace evoke warmth and light, while a parade of windows showcases sweeping ocean vistas.
The en suite bath is a private spa experience, appointed with marble walls and counters, travertine floors, and a glass-enclosed rainfall shower. A spacious dressing area and walk-in closet complete this suite’s blend of indulgence and practicality.
An additional guest suite in the main home offers mountain views, a fireplace, and an en suite bath—perfect for visitors or multi-generational living.
A Coastal Retreat with Resort-Style Wellness and Entertaining
The coastal retreat offers a world-class resort lifestyle enhanced by a wellness center providing a fully equipped gym; a sublime, marble-clad spa with nearby massage, therapy, and relaxation room; a game room, a beautiful media room, and an entertainment area.
The Guest House: Privacy and Comfort by the Sea
Thoughtfully sited for privacy, the guest house of approximately 650 square feet provides a tranquil retreat for family or guests. With a bedroom, sitting room with fireplace, kitchenette, and views of the Salt Marsh Reserve, it offers the comfort of a boutique coastal inn while remaining deeply connected to the estate’s natural surroundings.
The Deck, Pool, and Outdoor Living Experience
The home’s expansive wraparound deck is a masterpiece of coastal design—part Nantucket veranda, part California retreat. Here, unobstructed ocean panoramas stretch to the horizon. Morning coffee, evening cocktails, and sunlit gatherings all find their place in this idyllic setting.
An on-deck spa and fire pit invite quiet reflection as dolphins play offshore and the sun sets in a blaze of color. On the more secluded side, a lap pool offers views of the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve and the distant Santa Ynez foothills, blending wellness and nature in perfect harmony. A custom boardwalk leads directly to the sand, completing the estate’s seamless connection to the beach.
A Lifestyle Beyond Compare
From its two-car garage, multiple fireplaces, and smartly integrated built-ins, this home reflects an unwavering commitment to comfort and elegance. Every element—from the orientation of the windows to the selection of materials—has been designed to honor the breathtaking beauty of the location.
An Enviable Location Between Montecito and Carpinteria
Set at the tranquil end of exclusive Sand Point Road, this oceanfront enclave offers an uncommon blend of seclusion and convenience. The gated Sand Point Beach Colony is one of coastal California’s most coveted communities, known for its privacy, security, and pristine setting at the mouth of Santa Monica Creek, adjacent to the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve.
While perfectly serene, the estate is only a 10-minute drive from downtown Carpinteria and a 15-minute drive from Montecito’s Coast Village Road, where world-class dining, boutique shopping, and art galleries await. Nearby, additional beaches offer even more opportunities for recreation and relaxation.
A Timeless Coastal Legacy
Whether cherished as a family retreat, a private seaside sanctuary, or an extraordinary entertainer’s paradise, this home stands as one of the most distinguished offerings along the American Riviera.
