About This Home
Far Afield, the recently restored 10.5 acre ocean & mountain view estate in the heart of Montecito, invites you on an elegant and opulent adventure, inside and out, delighting the senses at every turn. The estate's fabled origins trace back to 1917 when the residence was designed by Francis T. Underhill and the gardens by Lockwood de Forest. The classic layout has the spirit of a European salon, creating an anthology of spaces celebrating art, conversation, and a life well lived. Each section of the garden is a living compendium offering a glimpse into diverse ecosystems and horticultural traditions. Between the newly restored residence, gardens that have thrived with over a century of reverence, and vast ocean & mountain views, the resulting composition is a trophy property for the ages.
