For Sale On or Near Miramar Beach

Well everyone, the wait is over. After one of the fastest construction periods I’ve ever seen (to offset the 12 years of planning and approvals) the new Rosewood Miramar Beach Resort is here, and it’s impressive. 

The grounds at the new Miramar resort are vast and open, the pools are well positioned on the property and many of the rooms and cottages are positioned along narrow pathways that make the place feel like a neighborhood. And, one must remember, the actual Miramar Beach crescent is the best beach, perhaps on the entire Central Coast. So, if you decide that you would like to live near or on Miramar Beach and near the new Rosewood Miramar Beach Resort, (which was already an A+ neighborhood well before the resort opened), here are five listings that might entice, all within the Montecito Union School District.

Just a side note here: The main building at the Miramar Resort, when viewed from the shore looking toward the mountains, is nearly identical to a home that just hit the market in a top spot in Bel Air, listed at $88,000,000. If you are curious, look online at the estate of BCBG clothing founder Max Azria who has listed his Paul Williams designed estate at 10250 Sunset Blvd and compare. 

1647 Posilipo Lane: $1,895,000 

This townhome is in a small complex across the lane from the sand, where opportunities for ownership are in terms of every few years or longer, as units rarely come on the market. The complex is just steps to the sand, and at nearly 2,000 sq ft of living space, the 3-bedroom 2-full and one-half bathroom multi-level townhome is also an end unit, bringing more light into the space. The living room opens to the ocean view balcony and other features include hardwood floors, fireplace, and dining room with BBQ patio. 

Upstairs, the master suite has “up close” ocean views and vaulted ceilings. Two additional bedrooms (one currently used as an office) offer versatility. The lower level 2-car garage is oversized with room to store surfboards and beach chairs.
