About This Home

As of January 2021

The 'Manana' Estate, designed by Francis Underhill in the early 1900's is one of the best representations of old world California seen in Montecito.

Manana is a rare single level estate, with architectural pedigree, spread over 7700 square feet on 1.6 useable Mountain view acres in the heart of Montecito's Golden Quadrangle. Gracious proportions and period detailing combined with an incredible floorplan seamlessly merge the past with the present. The home consists of 5 or 6 bedrooms, 6 full baths, 2 powders, 2 offices, a media/game room, a private gym, 4 car garage, pool, 7 fireplaces, including 1 outside and a private well for all landscaping.
