JUST LISTED • Jack Warner Legacy Estate on Pepper Hill

Montecito rarely offers something that feels truly irreplaceable.

356 Woodley Road is one of those properties.

Set in the coveted Pepper Hill enclave, this single-level contemporary estate captures unobstructed ocean and coastline views paired with extraordinary privacy, an increasingly rare combination along the Central Coast.

Designed as the final residential work of architect Jack Warner, the home unfolds across approximately 7,500 square feet where walls of glass dissolve into the landscape and every space is oriented toward the horizon.

Five bedrooms. Five and a half baths. Soaring scale. Seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Artistic elements by sculptor Aristides Demetrios add a sculptural rhythm throughout the residence, reinforcing the home’s connection to art, architecture, and land.

Outside, the estate becomes its own private world, orchards, gardens, mature trees, pool, spa, bocce court, and quiet outdoor spaces designed for living as much as viewing.

What makes it truly rare is not only what exists today, but what is included.

A separate one-acre ocean-view parcel with its own APN, water meter, and access expands the property to approximately 2.53 acres, offering a level of flexibility and long-term potential rarely found in Montecito.

Offered at $27M, or $24.5M for the residence on approximately 1.53 acres.

A legacy estate distinguished by unparalleled privacy, remarkable scale, and a view corridor that stands among Montecito’s most exceptional—nearly 200 degrees of ocean, island, coastline, and mountain vistas that transform with the light, offering an ever-changing masterpiece from dawn’s first glow to the final colors of sunset.

356 Woodley Road, Montecito CA
Offered at $27,000,000

Architect Spotlight: Brian Cearnal

Brian Cearnal’s work is defined by a timeless architectural sensibility shaped by a thoughtful response to place, proportion, and lifestyle. As founding partner of his firm, he has built a legacy grounded in design excellence, community leadership, and a belief that architecture should meaningfully enhance quality of life. This Santa Barbara residence reflects his refined Mediterranean style, expressed through warm materials, elegant indoor-outdoor flow, and a seamless connection to its natural surroundings, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail that define his work.

I was proud to represent the sale of this exceptional home and to experience firsthand the enduring quality of his architecture, a reminder that great design is not only seen, but deeply felt.

In Montecito, some of the most significant properties are never publicly listed. Information moves quietly through trusted relationships, private conversations, and established networks. By the time a home becomes publicly visible, the most strategic positioning has often already begun.

Yesterday was a historic day in our profession: a Federal Judge ruled that Zillow cannot ban sellers’ listings. Every MRED listing Zillow banned has to go back up, and Zillow cannot ban any MRED listings going forward, inclusive of PRIVATE LISTING NETWORK listings... Chances are, this ruling will resonate around the US. At last, we stood up for consumer rights - SELLER consumer rights (yes, they have rights too!) - and WON!

In Montecito, value is not defined the way it is in most markets. Price per square foot only tells part of the story.

What truly defines a property here is the feeling it creates: privacy, setting, scale, and the seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Two homes can share a similar price point while offering entirely different experiences.

Understanding those nuances is what makes all the difference in this market.
