About This Home

As of September 2022

The epitome of grace & grandeur, this architectural garden estate presides on 4 acres of mountain views & 200-year old trees. Once host to a music pavilion while part of the original Arcady Estate, the main house was extensively renovated by acclaimed Warner Group Architects to combine Palladian details with modern design. 4 bedrooms in the main home, the primary bedroom on main floor, & lower level features an airy great room/ game room opening up to the gardens. One bedroom guest cottage, pool/spa, expansive lawn, lighted tennis court, house generator, bocce court, putting green, fountains, terraces, ponds, & two separate 2-car garages. Symmetry, style, & natural flow from the residence to the lush gardens embody Montecito's standard of elevated outdoor living. Published in Veranda & AD.
