Montecito

This newly constructed, Hall Pardoe designed , Giffin & Crane built, French Farmhouse compound is now available to those seeking fine quality and exquisite craftmanship.  Located down a private lane lies this sanctuary of serenity, comfort & inspiration.  This estate is situated on approximately one acre of beautifully landscaped grounds, surrounded by mature oak, sycamore and olive trees, with meandering paths leading to serene and private hideaways.

The main house features three bedrooms, three and a half baths, a spacious living room with fireplace that flows seamlessly to the outdoor covered loggia with seating area and stone fireplace.  Additionally, there is a library, a second floor media/family room with adjoining office, reading nook, full bath, and balcony overlooking the lush, very private grounds. The cook's kitchen with oversized island will call out to your inner chef, and one can envision holiday events and parties year round in this very social "great room" environment.

Across the motor court, through a pair of iron gates, you will find a spectacular one bedroom guest house that equals the main house in all aspects of construction, detail and artistry, featuring 20' reclaimed vintage wood beamed ceilings and large iron French doors with expansive views to the enticing landscape.  There is a full kitchen, romantic bedroom with French doors that lead to a beautiful courtyard with fountain, a luxurious bathroom and an oversized walk-in-closet.

On the opposite side of the motor court is a three bay garage.  Within the finished garage, you will find additional laundry facilities, as well as stairs leading up to a second level guest room, an office boasting garden views, and a full bath.

Not to be overlooked is a quaint and inviting "tea house retreat" nestled on the property. This "tea house" can also serve as a yoga room, wine tasting room, reading room, etc.

This compound, complete with abundant off street parking, provides an intimate atmosphere on a grand scale, while offering an A+ location, a short distance to Butterfly beach, as well as the shops and restaurants of Montecito's lower village.
