Enchanting Garden Estate

Originally built in 1915 by one of Santa Barbara’s greatest benefactors, Frederick Forrest Peabody (Arrow Shirts), as part of his majestic 79 acre estate to be named Solana, today this charming 3.5 acre garden estate has the privilege of being tucked between the notable Solana estate of 11 acres and Santa Barbara’s Hale Park of 14 acres. This enchanting 3.5 acre estate is known for having one of the most stunning gardens in Montecito designed by noted landscape architect Sydney Baumgartner and the grounds enjoy panoramic views of the mountains, the Montecito Valley and Pacific Ocean. In addition to the main home, the property includes a very spacious second residence created as a carriage house, a north – south tennis court, pool, and 4-car garage.

The main residence features a spacious entry hall, fire-lit formal living room, grand dining room, handsome den, a gourmet country kitchen with two islands and a bay-windowed banquette, a butler’s pantry and flower arranging room, two offices, and wine cellar. All rooms open to the wonderful garden views and the inviting wraparound veranda. Most include hardwood floors, generous wood moldings and beamed ceilings.  A private master suite boasts a fireplace, two large dressing areas and separate baths. A detached 2-bedroom guest suite is adjacent to the main house and connected by the wraparound veranda.

The carriage house accommodates two large bedroom suites, a 2-story great room with a second floor media room with built-in projector and drop-down screen, a spacious kitchen, office, a substantial exercise room, a charming tower room with built-in children’s beds and a 4-car garage.
