Sprawling across approximately three acres of the exclusive Montecito Valley Ranch, this gated estate offers premiere California coastal living. Vines decorate its Mediterranean façade while a private, open courtyard leads to a welcoming entrance. -
Two floor-to-ceiling, antique doors imported from France open into the grand entry foyer, where the second story landing's artistic iron railing encircles the space above. Walnut floors throughout warm up the airy spaces, which feature lofty ceilings with exquisitely rustic wood beams. Nearly every room enjoys a fireplace in this newer, Don Nulty-designed home. -
Through archways on either side of the foyer sit the living and dining rooms. A romantic, granite-top bar graces the living room alongside three arched French doors opening onto the front patio with an old-world style fountain. -
With a fireplace, built-in sideboard, and doors onto the courtyard, the dining room enjoys ample spaciousness with discrete access to the butler's pantry. -
The kitchen strikes a perfect balance between warmth and grandeur, as fine stone countertops, a large center island, state-of-the-art appliances, and exceptional hardware and cabinetry adorn the astounding space. A breakfast nook sits beside the cooking area in an alcove encompassed by windows with garden views. -
An opulent family room opens naturally onto the kitchen, creating an extraordinary communal area. The family room boasts a gorgeous fireplace and two sets of French doors leading out to the entertaining patios. -
Down the wide, sunlight-bathed gallery lie a sophisticated library lined with built-in book shelves, marble fireplace, and private patio, and a finished basement below (currently used as a gym) with a handsome wine cellar. -
At the end of the hall, the master suite sits beneath a high, pitch-beamed ceiling and looks out onto the grounds through tall French doors. A stone fireplace adds exceptional beauty to the luxurious bedroom. A hallway graced by stone pavers introduces the spa-like master bathroom, which splits into separate his-and-hers water closets, enormous walk-in closets, and vanity spaces before rejoining in front of the oversized walk-in shower and soaking tub. -
Three additional bedroom suites encompass the home's second level. Each bedroom has a balcony with soaring mountain or garden views, and two of them additionally have spacious private terraces. All feature walk-in closets and deluxe ensuite bathrooms. -
Several grand French doors throughout the terrace lead onto the entertaining and outdoor living spaces. A large, covered space offers all-weather dining with curtains that may be opened or closed for comfort and privacy. The resort-like backyard—spacious enough to accommodate large parties—boasts a sizeable bar, fireplace, and ample dining and lounging areas. -
Just beneath an oak tree-laden hillside, a Spanish-tiled pool provides a perfect center point for the outdoor space alongside the spectacular fountains. -
Across the back yard lies the bright and airy guesthouse, complete with an amenable living room, eating area, kitchenette, an opulent bedroom, a lavish bathroom, and extensive closet space. Broad French doors in both the living room and bedroom open onto the outdoor living spaces, and the house's copious windows provide serene views of the surrounding flora. -
With an impeccable presentation of artistic details, grand spaces, and outstanding grounds, this Mediterranean Montecito estate presents the pinnacle of California coastal living.
