New England Farmhouse 655 Parra GrandeMontecito, CaliforniaEncircled by mature trees, a landscaped wall and gated entrance, you will discover and appreciate this departure from the ordinary by wandering the pathways and grounds of this private and secluded 1.45+- acre property. Enjoy a stroll across the expansive lawn and alongside a meandering brook, a horse corral, an artisan-crafted chicken coop, the raised garden beds, and a small orchard to experience a sense of refined “country” atmosphere right in the heart of Montecito. This rambling Farmhouse style home and guest house is an escape from formality and a retreat from the “outside world”…a place to put your feet up and relax in front of one of the four wood-burning fireplaces. With room to spare, this home will accommodate just about any lifestyle. The main house includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms including a very spacious upstairs master suite. Enjoy the gourmet chef’s kitchen with informal dining area. Adjacent to the kitchen are the family room and formal dining rooms bordered by sets of French doors opening to the backyard and patios. Above the three-car garage (with an interior and exterior entrance), there is a generously proportioned studio with full bathroom, kitchenette and fireplace. And if that isn’t enough, a charming detached, storybook cottage complements the main house and offers a sitting-room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. You may not have even known this special property even existed, but once you get here, you may never want to leave!
