Montecito

MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRY ESTATE

Panoramic ocean, island and mountain views provide the backdrop for this country home with stone walls and privacy in a gated “Golden Quadrangle” location near the San Ysidro Ranch. Enjoy a blend of old Santa Barbara Riviera style architecture in this newly constructed home designed to fit the site with its boulders, ancient oaks, and coastline treetop views. Feel the peace and serenity in this centrally located property.

The great room with its high distressed beamed ceiling reveals the expansive views that embrace every space in this home and sets the tone for a  unique and comfortable living experience.  The kitchen with every amenity required for gourmet cooking looks towards a stone walled family room with large European style dining terrace overlooking the 6.09 acres which could be vineyards or orchards below. A cozy roofed terrace with fireplace completes the romantic master suite located on its own private wing of the house.  The lower level offers three family bedrooms all with walk in closets and baths featuring custom stone and tile details. With its own private stone terrace, a wonderfully private guest house embraces the ocean view terraced property.

Enjoy Montecito living at its best either in the five bedroom residence with numerous stone terraces or by the infinity pool with its “Big Sur” feeling of being at one with nature.  Live with awe inspiring views of the foothills and harbor in this new Montecito estate.
