A newly built Montecito residence based on a design concept by Santa Barbara architect Jeff Shelton is now listed for $11.75 million. Known as Casa Pasiva, the five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath home spans just under 5,000 square feet on approximately 1.1 acres.

Shelton is known for some of Santa Barbara’s more whimsical architecture, but Casa Pasiva takes a relatively restrained and modern approach. Clean lines and broad expanses of glass run throughout the main living spaces, and NanaWall glass doors open the living room to a roughly 650-square-foot floating deck.

A 50-foot pool and spa sit just beyond the deck. Above, a roughly 1,500-square-foot rooftop terrace has a covered outdoor kitchen and looks toward the mountains and ocean.

Base Architecture and Design developed the home’s Passive House detailing according to Phius standards. The approach uses continuous insulation, an airtight building envelope, high-performance glazing, and balanced ventilation to reduce heating and cooling demand.

The home also has a Zehnder whole-house fresh-air system and integrated air-quality monitoring. An 8.8-kilowatt solar array, three EV charging stations, and a private elevator are also included.

Casa Pasiva is within walking distance of Coast Village Road and Butterfly Beach. Coast Village Road is Montecito’s main commercial street, while Butterfly Beach is a local favorite for viewing sunsets.
