Montecito

A grand elegant hacienda with Moorish influences that redefines the art of modern living.

Here, Andalusia meets California in a rich sensual feast of textures, patterns and architectural details. Massive, carved wooden doors. Embellished pillars. Ottoman arched fireplaces, and Moorish tiles bring visual excitement to almost every surface. An harmonious fusion of decorative elements brought together with great panache by owners with extraordinary taste and sophistication.

While this home harkens to the grand California ranchos of the 19th century, it is very much designed for life today. The glowing plastered walls and hand-scraped walnut floors conceal cutting-edge communication technologies. Every modern comfort and convenience has been incorporated into the decor to make living here simply and utterly luxurious. Newly built on a grand scale, the main house has 5 bedrooms with 5 en-suite baths, a library/media room, a family room, and an ingenious gourmet kitchen.

The outdoor spaces, as magical as the interiors, include expansive lush lawns, soothing fountains, serene courtyards off every bedroom suite, an exterior dining terrace with outdoor firelace that overlooks a pool to the ocean beyond, and secret garden rooms with glorious mountain views. Nestled into this tropical oasis is a charming 2 bedroom guesthouse.

This is paradise found.....in Montecito!
