Those houses on Gibraltar are bought and sold every few years in and out of foreclosure and bankruptcy. I always wonder who the next sucker is who purchases them. Between fires, the long narrow, winding road and the constant flow of bicyclists and clueless tourists who drive up and down Gibraltar, that view likely becomes old very fast. But what a view!
There is a newer house that has disrupted the mountain. Its facade is visible from halfway to Santa Cruz Island. They cut into the corner of the mountain and built a 5 story tall rock /retaining wall. All while closing off what was the best view stop on the road. One that was in use for over 100 years. There is not another more visually disruptive build in all of SB. Makes me wonder if there are any actual regulators regulating our county any longer…
The Planning Dept is a ghost town
This house was actually owned by the same person since 1994…
