Montecito

This Country Estate is located within Riven Rock, one of Montecito’s beautiful historic garden neighborhoods. The natural beauty of the Estate is artfully captured by the lush landscaped gardens displaying an array of year round flowering plants, native Oaks and majestic Sycamore trees. Bordering the property is seasonal Cold Springs Creek with the sights and sounds of the moving stream.

This magnificent Estate is situated on approximately 2.4 magical acres. The property retains much of the unique allure that so engaged its original designer, Mr. Stanely McCormick (International Harvestor Company) a century ago. The enchanting gardens feature a tranquil natural boulder Koi pond, pathways to the family fruit orchard, organic garden and hen house, a child’s dream play yard, and inviting swimming pool with separate romantic soaking spa. The exquisite collection of flowering plants and specimen trees create an atmosphere of peace and serenity in this garden paradise.

The home, built in 1990, is an elegantly designed Mediterranean Country Villa. Its ambiance is luxurious and comfortable, and recaptures the meticulous details of those magnificent estates built in the early 1900’s.
