About This Home

As of June 2025

In the heart of Montecito's Golden Quadrangle, Las Jacarandas, a 1932 Reginald Johnson estate, stands as a testament to timeless elegance, architectural mastery, and the transformative nature of extraordinary landscaping. This 2.86-acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history combined with the luxury of modern living and eternally lush grounds, aided by a private well. The outdoor amenities include a pool, N/S tennis court, guest cottage, al fresco kitchen, fire pit, specimen trees, and an anthology of garden districts in the spirit of Lotusland. The 6-bedroom residence retains many original details, yet the thoughtful floor plan celebrates today's modern indoor/outdoor lifestyle. Blending old and new, organic whimsy with focused design, this is what you've waited for
