Casa Flores a la Torre 

"Flowers to the Tower House"

Casa Flores a la Torre is nestled in the foothills of Toro Canyon delivering old world charm to its hillside location and offering sweeping views of the mountains, ocean, coastline and Channel Islands.

The covered veranda incorporates Cantera stone flooring, hand-made stone columns and exposed wood beams, offering the perfect setting to relax and relish the glorious sunsets, while a doe and her fawns make an appearance in the orchard below and hawks glide above.  Later, dine al fresco, and as evening descends, watch the stars make their appearance in the night sky while sipping an aperitif in front of the outdoor fireplace.

The interior boasts vaulted ceilings, hand-hewed wood beams, custom iron windows and doors, artistic stone carvings, Jerusalem limestone and travertine counters, custom designed wrought iron decor, flooring of Cantera stone, terra cotta tile and hickory with walnut cabinetry in the study/office.  There are intimate cozy places, while also easily accommodating larger gatherings with opened doors to the veranda and courtyard.  

This gated estate was designed by architect Henry Lenny with the old haciendas of Mexico in mind and is situated on nearly three-acres comprising of fruit trees, a cutting garden and a scenic site ideal for a guest house or studio.  It is conveniently located on the border of Montecito and Carpinteria and only minutes from the freeway.  It is within easy access to the Santa Barbara Polo Club, numerous hiking trails and Summerland Beach.
