Unparalleled luxury coupled with artful and timeless design are brought to life at Monte Arroyo Estate. Surrounded by a botanical wonderland in the heart of Montecito’s Golden Quadrangle, this c.1910 residence is soulful and delicately restored to honor its history while meticulously being reimagined by the visionary designer, Xorin Balbes of XORIN HOMES.

A legacy estate, the blend of fantasy and classical elements begin as you approach the Moorish cloister arcade at the entrance setting the stage for what is to come inside. Simultaneously embracing quiet luxury, drama and romance, the entire property has been progressively restored, exceeding even its original glory.

At the heart of the Monte Arroyo Estate is a majestic main residence, featuring 7 bedroom suites adorned with luxurious finishes and timeless accents.

Step inside, and you’ll be captivated by the unique blend of authentic materials, poetic spaces, and practical elegance that permeates every corner of this stately residence.

The primary bedroom suite is an oasis occupying its own exclusive floor. As you walk through, you’re greeted by a grand fireplace, private terraces and patios that offer serene garden views, inviting quiet moments of reflection.

The primary bathroom is a sanctuary of luxury, featuring an indulgent steam shower, a luxurious standalone bathtub, and private terraces. Two extraordinarily opulent closets complete the suite, featuring custom Italian cabinetry with illuminated bronze and glass finishes, transforming dressing into an experience of pure luxury and sophistication.

Outside, the estate’s expansive landscape unfolds into a serene escape from the pace of daily life. At the western edge of the property, overlooking the sparkling pool and hot tub, is the wellness pavilion. This retreat includes a bedroom/massage space, a dry sauna, and a gym with views of a terrace that overlooks the pool and expansive rear gardens.

Near the lily pond and pickleball court, you’ll find a modern and stylish one bedroom guest house, perfect for hosting visitors in comfort and style. Slowing down the pace, it’s easy to get lost as you wander through nearly four acres of artfully curated gardens reminiscent of strolling through your own Lotusland. Challenge friends to a game of pickleball, or simply bask in the tranquility of your own private oasis—the possibilities are endless.
