In Montecito, the million-dollar views still come with mudslide risks.
Debris piled on the beach after a storm in Carpinteria, Calif., Jan. 11, 2023.
Montecito can feel like a secret to those who discover it. Tucked into a steep slope, it offers grand views of sherbet-colored sunsets and a glittering sea. The serenity of the foothills provides refuge to a number of celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, a longtime resident, and the more recent arrivals Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan.
Fallows, 40, grew up in Montecito and, after living for a time in San Francisco, Australia and Tanzania, fulfilled a dream when she returned four years ago with her family. “It’s a very odd feeling,” Briner said. “Just like there’s a scar there, there’s a scar, I think, within each one of us.” “A lot of people have been wanting to buy it,” she said of the property. “I’m just not ready to let it go yet.”
The scene for the 2018 disaster was set by the wildfire, which left behind an ashen surface that made the soil in the burn area less able to absorb water. When nearly 1 inch of rain fell in the space of five minutes, it touched off a destructive debris flow that outmatched the basins. Even as climate change widens the extremes between drought and flood, Montecito’s quaint yet rural landscape continues to lure the affluent, who do not balk at a listing for $19 million that offers “gently rolling grounds, ancient oaks.” Newcomers don’t have the same context for their surroundings that the longtime residents do, and houses have sprung up where previous ones were flattened.
