Property Description
Set atop a hidden knoll, this sprawling, single level ranch home embodies the effortless elegance of Montecito living. Framed by breathtaking ocean, island, and mountain vistas, the property offers a rare combination of comfort, serenity, and convenience just moments from Montecito and Summerland's celebrated shops, restaurants, and beaches. Thoughtfully refreshed and updated over the past several years, the Ketzel and Goodman-designed residence embraces a timeless California aesthetic, where vaulted ceilings, generous living spaces, and an open, flowing floor plan create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and welcoming. Designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, every principal room connects to the surrounding landscape and captures the beauty of its extraordinary setting. The heart of the home is a chef's kitchen with a sunny breakfast nook, complemented by formal and informal gathering spaces including a grand living room, a warm and inviting family room, and a richly paneled library or office.. Three bedrooms and 3 baths (plus powder room) provide comfortable accommodations, including two en-suite retreats. Expansive, manicured lawns unfold toward sweeping ocean and Channel Islands views, creating an idyllic setting for entertaining, recreation, or quiet moments beneath the coastal sky. Covered patios, mature landscaping, fruit and vegetable gardens, and a curated mix of xeriscape and lush local plantings further enhance the sense of peace and privacy. There is also immediate access to the famed Montecito dedicated trail system for hiking and horseback riding. Offering the ease of single-level living, timeless ranch-style architecture, and an unparalleled connection to nature, this is a rare Montecito sanctuary that feels worlds away, yet remains just minutes from the Upper and Lower Villages, Summerland, and some of the area's most beloved beaches and dining destinations.
