Property Description
Set within the exclusive gated enclave of Rancho Monte Alegre, Black Opal Ranch is a 21-acre coastal compound with sweeping ocean, island, and mountain views.

Meandering through the grounds, you'll discover historic gardens, a weathered barn, a rustic bunkhouse, and the former lemon packing house, transformed by Lutah Riggs into an enchanting residence. Timeless farmworker dwellings still stand, whispering stories of the land's storied past. Whether envisioned as an equestrian haven, an agricultural retreat, or a legacy family compound estate, Black Opal Ranch is your opportunity to a own a remarkable chapter in the living history of Carpinteria and Santa Barbara.
