Description

Reminiscent of the most exquisite Italian villa, Montecito's ''Villa Bencista' is a world-class estate offering serene privacy, robust amenities, and spectacular ocean and mountain views. From the stately iron-gate entrance to the striking architecture of the main residences to the expansive lawn and beautiful orchards, this stunning property conjures visions of Montecito's iconic early 20th century estates. Offering more than 12,200 sq. ft. of living space, the 10,300+ sq. ft. main residence and two matching +/- 1000 sq. ft. poolside guest houses were substantially renovated in 2012. The truly breathtaking grounds also include a beautiful pool, spa, sport court, gazebo, an additional detached 2-car garage, and acres of diverse trees and landscaping.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
