Description

Old-world stonework and stately architecture combine with livable, streamlined design at this world-class estate on five park-like acres in Montecito's prestigious Golden Quadrangle. Just beyond the ornate iron entry gates and encompassed by troves of towering oak and sycamore trees, a commanding circular driveway anchors the property. Immediately apparent is this remarkable estate's grandeur. The striking facade of the 8,000 square-foot main residence embraces starkly traditional architecture, nimbly channeling Byzantine styles of old-trefoil-arched windows, a stone turret entry, and a wraparound koi-pond moat.Meanwhile, the interiors showcase a refreshing m?lange of classic and contemporary elementscrisp walnut and red oak juxtapose with dramatic limestone, marble, and wrought ironthat have been thoughtfully engineered to incorporate the most cutting-edge technological accoutrements. (See details for complete list.) A wealth of windows, French doors, and balconies ushers in scenery of the beautifully landscaped grounds.The entry level includes an elegant foyer and entry hall, formal dining room, living room, study, wine storage, and detached office; a designer culinary center with imposing island, walk-in pantry, and butler's pantry; and an entry level master suite equipped with a well-appointed dressing room and limestone-clad his-and-her baths with steam showers. Three additional bedroom suites including a deluxe 1 bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom service quarters, a butler's minibar, and a drawing room comprise the upper level. A detached 1 bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom guest house, consisting of approximately 1,000 square feet with a two and a half car garage and storage room ensure private living space for visitors and onsite staff. While the interiors of the property deliver relaxed luxury at every corner, the five-acre grounds are an entertainer's playground, accented by a professional-grade tennis court, a bocce ball court, and a luxurious backyard patio with outdoor kitchen and al fresco dining for 12, a 45 foot pool with spa, an air-conditioned cabana with full bath, and a romantic trellised terrace with fire pit. Illuminated flagstone pathways lead to a formal garden and to a bountiful chef's vegetable and herb garden and citrus orchard. The four-bay garage and motor court are a car collector's dream. No detail was overlooked to achieve the ultimate standard of living.The estate, built in 2011 and reimagined to perfection in 2019 with the creative oversight of a stellar design and architectural team, is offered fully furnished for the lock-and-go buyer yet is an equally versatile canvas for the visionary decorator. This secure and secluded resort-like estate may seem like a world away but is only moments from the energy of Coast Village Road, critically acclaimed Cold Spring School, and world-renowned country clubs and beach resorts.
