849 Ashley Road | Montecito | Reimagined Spanish Colonial Estate

 

In the verdant splendor of Montecito lies a reimagined estate that beckons those seeking tranquility wrapped in style. This Spanish Colonial compound, positioned on a serene, private acre, offers a retreat from the everyday while embodying the essence of a luxury getaway.

A testament to open design, the 4 bedroom/ 4 bathroom home blends seamlessly with the outdoors, a signature of Montecito’s sought-after lifestyle, encouraging a living experience that shifts between the comfort of the indoors and the allure of the open air. With a blend of vintage and new, the chef’s kitchen creates an inviting destination for culinary creativity and entertaining and opens into a spacious great room and expansive family dining area. On the first floor, a private guest suite, functional gym or office and a cozy media room are complemented by a dramatic and inviting living room all unified by the soothing soundtrack of surrounding nature and the interplay of dappled sunlight that dances across the oaks and comes inside through the many windows and doors. The grand staircase stands at the heart of the home celebrating the marriage of California Contemporary and Spanish Colonial with the cascading Alison Berger ‘rain’ pendant light feature and the hand-made tile work under each stair tread. Upstairs the south/west facing primary suite is a sanctuary with peeks of the ocean from its private balcony and two additional bedrooms offer privacy and comfort for guests or family.

Welcoming visitors with ease, an inviting guest house sits across from the pool and stands as a testament to the thoughtful design, with an open great room, kitchen and two generous bedrooms and bath.

At the center of this well-designed property, the residence’s sparkling pool serves as a vibrant destination for relaxation and gatherings in the outdoor space, creating a sensory experience. The exteriors of this mini compound are bathed in blue sky and sunlight and surrounded by a lush tapestry of fruit trees, oaks and olives and complemented with an outdoor shower and a Japanese hot tub positioned perfectly to offer views of the majestic Santa Ynez Mountains and the magnificent creek. Here you will unwind and enjoy the ultimate retreat.

In the ideal location near both the upper and lower Montecito villages, the residence also offers easy access to the Cold Springs and Hot Springs trails, bringing an exceptional living experience into the everyday and capturing the very essence of low-key luxury and privacy within the Central Coast’s most sought-after locale.
