Perched at the top of a long gated driveway and passing through beautifully landscaped grounds, this stunning estate blends all of Montecito's finest features: privacy, distinctive architecture, precise landscaping and panoramic mountain and ocean vistas. The tranquil estate is comprised of a main residence and guest cottage on approximately 2 acres, thoughtfully crafted by landscape architects Eric Nagelman and Isa Eaton. Each of the rooms and the many outdoor living spaces have been situated and designed to take full advantage of the abundant natural light and dramatic backdrop of mountains, ocean and islands.
A gracious stone pathway, flanked by lovely gardens, leads you to the entryway of the home, with custom glass-paneled French doors framed by bright bougainvillea. The entry level features 12-foot high ceilings and multiple sets of 8'8" tall French doors, allowing for a wealth of natural light. Through the foyer, an impressive living room features open beam ceilings, built-in bookshelves and a stately stone fireplace with French doors on either side, leading to the rear terrace. The terrace is certainly a continuation of the living room and the perfect place for al-fresco dining or hosting, with a fireplace, ample seating areas, climbing roses contrasting the bright white exterior and sprawling mountain views. A welcoming family room is a comfortable place to gather family and friends, with a cozy stone fireplace and French doors leading to a pergola-covered patio that looks onward to the gardens, ocean, and Channel Islands.

The kitchen is fit for the most discerning chef. It features ample counter space and cabinetry, a versatile center island, cozy breakfast nook and top-of-the-line Subzero and Wolf appliances. Convenient doors to the back gardens provide access to the fruit orchards, vegetable gardens and al fresco dining. Off the kitchen is the exquisite formal dining room which has a decorative chandelier, high open-beam ceilings and multiple sets of French doors opening to the back terrace and gardens, looking on to the incredible mountain vistas. For ocean-view dining, the front terrace has plenty of shaded and open spaces, ideal for entertaining and watching the sunset.

With the master and a guest bedroom occupying the second level, and a versatile office or bedroom on the entry level, each suite is a haven in itself. The luxurious master suite rivals that of a fine resort. French doors on two sides of the bedroom open up to an expansive wraparound terrace with views of the ocean, mountains and overlooking the grounds. Dual master bathrooms offer additional comfort and privacy, each with world class amenities, including a sumptuous marble shower. The generous upstairs guest suite has a luxurious bathroom with decorative tiled floors and French doors opening to a charming terrace beautifully emphasizing the mountain views. The downstairs third bedroom or office is located adjacent to a full bathroom and has high open beam ceilings and French doors on opposite sides, leading to the back terrace and front gardens.

Guests will feel indulged as they retreat to their own private oasis, just moments from the main residence. Enjoying many of the amenities and features offered in the main house, the spacious guest house is certainly an extension of such. A stone pathway shaded by oak trees leads you to a covered entryway. Vaulted white ceilings and dark stained wood floors are found throughout. The living room has a gorgeous stone fireplace and three sets of French doors opening to a private patio, looking out to lavender fields and surrounded by rose bushes. There are two additional rooms that each have French doors opening to the separate stone patios, and share a deluxe bathroom with a tiled shower.

The lush grounds have been meticulously manicured and perfectly complement the many outdoor living spaces of the home. The expansive stone terrace off of the living room is surrounded by hedges, lawn, olive trees and a vintage Italian stone fountain. Behind the home are orchards of bountiful avocado, Meyer lemon, peach, orange and clementine trees, as well as vines of passion fruit. The peaceful front patio includes a pergola and numerous of sitting areas looking out to the front gardens with fields of lavender, Italian cypress trees, natural oaks and meandering walking paths, all framing the ocean views. Landscape lighting has been recently completed, ensuring residents and guests enjoy the spectacular grounds even once the sun has set. Two Tesla chargers are conveniently located on the edge of the motorcourt. While privacy and tranquility are distinct characteristics of the property, it is mere minutes to the dining and shopping of Montecito's Upper Village, world-class beaches and is located in the Montecito Union School district.
