life in full bloom

A tropical sanctuary awaits—thoughtfully composed across nearly one acre of flourishing gardens, this 4 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom Montecito reimagined farmhouse, with a detached studio and shimmering pool, offers a refined expression of indoor-outdoor living.

Reimagined Japanese Farmhouse

  • Detached studio
  • Versatile floor plan
  • Large sliding pocket doors 
  • Timeless architecture elevated by wood craftsmanship
  • Sparkling pool and spa
  • Outdoor shower
  • Lush gardens with drought resistant landscape and fruit trees
  • Stone pathways meander through the property
  • Ideal Montecito location near upscale shopping, dining and beaches

 Framed by palms and the coastal light, the residence invites stillness, connection, and ease.

Sunlight filters through open living, dining, and kitchen spaces—each one effortlessly connected to the outdoors.

Intentional Design

Organic textures and clean architectural lines lend a natural elegance, while thoughtful touches like polished concrete floors and expansive windows ground the home in its surroundings. 

A Rejuvenating Retreat

The art of living well takes shape in the primary suite—where light, volume, privacy and a spa-like bathroom converge to create a space as restful as it is refined.

Step outside and discover a garden made for wandering. Winding paths reveal moments of color and calm—succulents, flowering trees, and the scent of something always in bloom. At the heart of it all, the pool and spa invite you to unwind beneath the Montecito sun, just as easily as they invite conversation with friends over sunset cocktails. 

Your Private Outdoor Oasis

Everyday life here is underscored by simplicity and connection. Montecito Union School is moments away, along with the boutiques and cafes of the Upper Village and the soft sands of Hammond’s Beach. Whether it’s school drop-off, a spontaneous walk to the beach, or a quiet morning with coffee under the palms—life here moves with intention and ease.
