Lower Riviera

A captivating ivy covered turret and lavender filled hillside with peeks of the ocean command the approach to this Spanish Mediterranean home in the Santa Barbara Riviera foothills. Ethereal landscape design and seamless construction reveal a mini-estate reminiscent of the famed estates of Montecito.

The entrance is framed by Santa Barbara sandstone steps and walls with carefully selected landscape materials. This special home features Venetian plaster walls; hand hewn Alder doors; tile floors; aged wood ceilings; surround sound audio and separately controlled speakers throughout the home and rear exterior; new baths appointed with limestone surfaces; a new open-style kitchen; and central air-conditioning/heating. French doors open the living and dining room to a beautifully landscaped terrace and garden.

The landscape includes a natural barranca-boulderscape, which acts as a water feature during the rainy season; specimen plantings; custom lighting; mature trees; lush lawns; a romantic private spa; all creating a magical setting for entertaining.

Some of the best local craftsman and artisans lent their talents in architectural details to this showcase property.
