With 1,000 feet of ocean frontage and only the quiet folks in the Santa Barbara Cemetery for neighbors, the spectacular mansion on the bluff above East Beach has to be the most conspicuously unoccupied private home in Southern California. Now the magnificent 23.5-acre property that’s been sitting empty at 1407 East Cabrillo Boulevard for almost 60 years belongs to a specially created entity known as the Bellosguardo Foundation. Santa Barbara has a new public treasure - Huguette Clark’s former estate Bellosguardo. The furniture has been covered, but otherwise the rooms in the mansion remain as they were 60 years ago. BELLOSGUARDO THEN: This family photo, taken in the 1940s, shows the interior of the library, including a portrait of Huguette’s sister Andrée over the fireplace.
