Santa Barbara, CA 93108

Set on a hilltop above Montecito, the residence known as Cloud 9 commands what many regard as the most expansive coastal panoramas in the area -- a sweep that reaches from Point Mugu to Campus Point and takes in the village and coastline below from sunrise through sunset. The Mediterranean home was remodeled and expanded in 2014 by Unander and Associates, with a floor plan that places all principal living on a single level. With the kitchen, dining and living rooms opening to the covered patio and views beyond, the heart of the main level is designed to live as much indoors as out. Mornings in the first-level primary bedroom open to the ocean and city below.Two bedrooms on the east wing, each commanding strong views down the Santa Ynez mountain range and southern coastline, complete the main level and offer spacious living for family. Venturing upstairs, the entire upper level is dedicated to a fourth bedroom suite - complete with a serene office or reading space, and a secluded terrace whose double patio doors open to a mountain breeze.Outdoor living is composed across three orientations: an east-facing olive tree setting catches the morning light, a west-facing vignette anchored by a fire feature draws the sunset, and a south-facing vanishing-edge pool and spa hold the coastal panorama through every hour of the day.Designed equally for intimate gatherings and larger occasions, the home is fitted with a state-of-the-art entertainment and sound system designed by Grammy Award-winning engineer Allen Sides, transforming the family room into a true cinema experience. A comprehensive suite of systems further distinguishes the property. Thoughtfully updated, 965 Park Lane is a rare opportunity to own one of Montecito's most coveted vantage points.
