A wonderful sense of discovery defines this enchanting Montecito property, where the residence is surrounded by magnificent gardens, mature trees, tranquil water features, and inviting outdoor living areas. Situated on approximately .82 acres, the setting recalls the charm and romance of San Ysidro Ranch while feeling distinctly its own. The three-bedroom, three-bath main residence is warm and inviting, with vaulted ceilings, rich wood floors, detailed millwork, and French doors opening directly to terraces and greenery. The beautifully designed kitchen opens to the adjoining living and dining areas, creating an easy flow throughout the home.Stone terraces and pathways meander through lush plantings to a reflective pond, sweeping lawn, pool and spa, and intimate areas for dining and entertaining. Majestic oaks provide a beautiful natural backdrop, while two outdoor kitchens and numerous gathering areas create a lifestyle centered around the beauty of the grounds. Tucked within the landscape, the separate two-bedroom, one-bath guest house has a character all its own, enhanced by herringbone floors, marble finishes, and a generous living area. A detached studio provides additional versatility for an office, creative pursuits, or private retreat. Moments from Birnam Wood Golf Club, the Upper Village, and Butterfly Beach, this captivating property celebrates one of the most appealing aspects of Montecito living - a home where architecture, gardens, and outdoor living come together in a wonderfully natural way.
