Montecito

Contemporary Country Estate

Originally built in the 1950’s and extensively remodeled in 2001, this estate is the country-inspired home you have always dreamed of, with modern amenities for you to enjoy your modern lifestyle. High ceilings, paned windows, French doors, and hardwood floors throughout combine a refined rustic elegance with the clean lines of the original mid-century design.

A charming Dutch door welcomes you into the formal living room, which features a pitched beamed ceiling, gas fireplace with raised hearth, and mountain and garden views. Central to the public rooms is an extraordinary spiral staircase with wooden railing and open landing leading to the master bedroom suite. The master suite features peaceful Pacific Ocean views across the verdant garden foreground.

Three light filled entry level bedrooms share a remodeled bathroom and have access to the open sundeck and grounds.

The formal dining room and adjacent family room, both with walls of windows and French doors, share a unique open wall design, which celebrates the light and views the dramatic clearstory windows provide.

Remodeled French Country kitchen, complete with Viking appliances, marble counters, a large island and custom cabinetry including a hide-away built in breakfast bar, all opening to a barbeque terrace.

The spacious wrap-around ocean and island view deck is “the largest room in the house.”  We have been told “After a long day, the relaxing view deck is a welcome respite to the busy day’s end.  And many enjoyable times with family and friends have been spent on this terrace.”

The property finishes with a meandering pathway that takes you past natural stone boulders into a hidden oak canopied garden with seasonal creek. Low rock walls support the expansive terraced lawn area of this idyllic private acre. Mature trees, landscaped hedges and gorgeous blooming rose beds provide a border along Hidden Valley Lane.
