About This Home

As of February 2025

Livable remodel project, adjacent to twenty-million dollar estates in one of the most exclusive private locations and streets in Old Montecito. Nestled on 1.16 acres, formerly part of the renowned Brundage Estate, 804 Ayala Lane offers unlimited potential and exquisite tranquility. Situated at the end of the lane, this home is surrounded by towering trees that have stood for over 100 years, providing the perfect amount of privacy. This home offers a single story 3 bed/2 bath main house and a 2 bed/1 bath guest cottage. There is significant rental income possibilities from both homes. Conveniently located near world-class beaches, resorts, fine dining and shopping in Montecito's coveted Upper & Lower Villages... ...Two adjacent parcels recently sold for 15,975,000 and 15,400,000. Avery Brundage was a well-known real estate investor who owned many iconic properties in Montecito/Santa Barbara: the Montecito Country Club; El Paseo; De La Guerra mansion; the El Presidio business block; and the Montecito Inn. He was also known as the "King of the Olympics" as he held the post as the International Olympics Committee President for 20 years. This home is the last remaining property that was once a part of the historic estate that was originally named Escondrijo (the "Hiding Place"), which was then purchased by Avery Brundage and renamed La Pineta ("The Pinewood"). 804 Ayala Lane was originally built as the servant's and chauffeurs' quarters on the landmark La Pineta estate.
