Montecito

Resort-Like Montecito Estate

When unparalleled quality is paired with gracious living spaces and a luxurious, tropical setting, resort-like living is enjoyed every day!  Nestled in a tranquil Montecito location, approximately one breathtaking acre offers abundant tropical flora, mature oaks, sprawling lawns, raised-bed vegetable garden, fruit trees, and sensational mountain views.

Nearly new, superb craftsmanship and impeccable design selections are evident throughout.  Seemingly one with the outdoors, almost every room offers French doors opening to the lush grounds and dramatic views.  All on one level, each room opens effortlessly to the next, offering a fluid floor plan.  An inviting and warm space, the living room boasts vaulted ceilings, reclaimed oak floors, a sandstone fireplace and two sets of French doors opening to the pool and gardens.  The dining room, enjoying a large picture window beautifully framing the garden views, is ample in size, spacious enough for a large Thanksgiving dinner, yet cozy for an evening alone.  The breathtaking kitchen radiates sophistication and style, with quartzite and soapstone finishes, a center island, floor-to-ceiling storage, state-of-the-art appliances, wine storage, and garden views. 

Off the kitchen, a lovely guest suite features hand-hued walnut floors and a private entrance.  The family room/media room boasts vaulted ceilings, flagstone floors, sandstone walls, distressed fir built-in cabinetry, a sandstone fireplace and Bose surround-sound theatre system.  Quintessential indoor/outdoor living is enjoyed as pocket doors open from the media room to a large outdoor room with a wet bar, built-ins, vaulted open-beamed ceilings with heaters, and retractable, stacking doors, that when open, make the inside room transform into part of the outdoors.
 
On the bedroom wing of the house one finds the master suite and two additional bedroom suites. Each bedroom suite offers pitched beamed ceilings, reclaimed oak floors and garden views.  The lovely master bedroom has vaulted wooden ceilings, two fully fitted walk-in closets, and retractable stacking doors that open to a vast flagstone patio overlooking the enticing gardens.  Enter the master bathroom and feel like you are in a first class spa.  With radiant heat in the French limestone floors, Buksy Blue limestone counters, a free-standing soaking tub, and bronze-framed, glass doors opening to a private patio, the master suite leaves nothing to be desired.

Immerse yourself in absolute relaxation as you bask in the breathtaking scenery from one of the many outdoor spaces, all beautifully lit and equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system.  Delight in a crisp summer day, cooking for family and/or guests at the outdoor BBQ area.  Sunbathe on the large stone patio as you overlook the lagoon-style infinity pool and spa.  Take a dip in the pool and refresh in the adjacent cabana.  With walls of Santa Barbara sandstone, the pool cabana features a full bathroom with a steam shower, and a large outdoor stone fireplace. Warm by the fire or dine with friends as you end another day enjoying a mesmerizing Santa Barbara sunset.
