Beyond carved wooden gates, the grounds unfold as a private village.

Where Life Unfolds

The main residence is quietly scaled and connected to its surroundings.

Formal living and dining rooms open with ease, while the kitchen and family room anchor daily life, with a separate built in bar just off the dining room.

Interiors give way to mature tropical landscape, with doors opening to patios and garden paths beyond.

Three bedrooms and three and a half baths unfold as a series of private retreats, each with its own connection to the gardens.

inviting primary bedroom suite

Opening to an expansive deck, the primary suite is oriented to the lawn and tropical gardens beyond.

The Beauty of Staying Put

The compound is revealed in layers, each structure positioned with intention.

Set along a hidden garden pathway, the two bedroom guest cottage offers a fully equipped retreat for guests, private and self contained.

Two additional studios bring a sense of discovery and added versatility to the property.

Quietly Versatile

Each studio is finished with a spacious bath, with the second offering a dedicated office, creating a natural extension of the residence for work or retreat.

Paths wind through a landscape of lawns and layered plantings, reminiscent of the nearby Four Seasons Biltmore.

Dive In!

A destination for long afternoons and evenings, the pool and spa sit naturally within the grounds. 

In Full Bloom

Garden rooms reveal themselves one by one. Sun drenched patios and outdoor dining areas are woven throughout, designed for the indoor outdoor lifestyle that defines Montecito.

As evening settles, the atmosphere softens. Low light weaves through the gardens, fountains echo gently, and the air carries a sense of calm that feels distinctly Montecito. Doors remain open, conversations linger, and time begins to slow. 

Set within Montecito’s Golden Quadrangle, moments from the Upper and Lower Villages and the beach, the location offers a rare balance of privacy and convenience. 

A Romantic Spirit

Romantic, playful, effortless - you may never want to say goodbye.
