About this home
Available for short-term furnished lease to a discerning resident keen on enjoying the Montecito lifestyle in the prestigious Golden Quadrangle. Tucked behind gates on one of Montecito's most coveted streets, this historic estate, originally built in 1930 at the height of the Roaring Twenties, has been masterfully reimagined by renowned architects Sorrell & Sorrell, blending Old World charm with contemporary luxury. Set on approximately 2.2 acres, the property offers unmatched privacy, curated gardens, and panoramic views that stretch from the Santa Ynez Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. This exceptional villa is a short stroll to the Upper Village and the iconic San Ysidro Ranch, with Butterfly Beach, Coast Village, and the Rosewood Miramar just minutes away. Yet it feels worlds apartlike a secluded hillside retreat in the South of France. Beyond the gated entry, a grand motor court welcomes you to a residence that celebrates artisanal craftsmanship and refined elegance. Inside, nearly every room opens to breathtaking vistas or intimate garden moments. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes five ensuite bedrooms plus dedicated staff quarters, seven luxurious baths, a formal living room, and an elegant dining room ideal for entertaining. A chef's kitchen, outfitted with top-tier appliances and custom cabinetry, flows into multiple gathering spaces including a media room, wine cellar, billiards room, and gym. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with dual spa-like baths, dual dressing rooms, and sweeping views. Outdoors, the estate unfolds into a series of lush garden rooms. Meandering stone pathways connect terraced lawns, rose gardens, fruit orchards, a romantic gazebo, and a charming pond. A sparkling pool and spa are flanked by ocean-facing patios and sun-drenched lounging areas, while hidden corners like the chicken coop and vegetable gardens add soul and self-sufficiency to this one-of-a-kind retreat. Additional features include a six-zone Sonos system, three-car garage, upper and lower gated access, and parking for up to nine additional vehicles. Every element of this estate from its architectural provenance to its serene grounds has been curated to offer a sense of peace, privacy, and place. This is not just a home; it is a legacy property meant to be experienced.
