The New York Times describes Big Sur as “one of the most stunning meetings of land and sea in the world.” Others agree, saying Big Sur offers the most amazing views of the mountains and the coast. Well, they haven’t seen my new listing yet. More of a retreat, this home offers some of the most amazing panoramic ocean and mountain views, just like Big Sur. Simply put, this property is a meeting of interior comfort and exterior splendor.
Situated in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains above Montecito and Summerland, the estate borders the Los Padres National Forest. If that’s not enough, the outside features dramatically vaulted roof lines and aged wood. Inside you’ll find lofty vaulted ceilings with beautifully-finished wood floors throughout with panoramic ocean and mountain views from nearly
every room. I love the remarkable architecture, including the home’s expanses of glass that create the perfect atmosphere to experience the indoor/outdoor lifestyle.
The living room hosts a large skylight and multiple windows. Upstairs, the loft-style master bedroom is filled with natural light. The guest room is also awash in light, with extraordinary views. There’s a luxurious bath with dual sinks and an oversized glassed-in shower.
In the backyard, tasteful drought-tolerant landscaping and towering eucalyptus trees make you feel like you’re in your own private nature preserve. There’s a hot tub, 2 decks, and an elevated walkway between the residence and the guest quarters – which is an exceptional retreat unto itself. It features a bedroom, bath, living room, kitchen, and loft.
Located at the end of a quiet road just minutes from Montecito’s world-class shopping, dining and beaches, and from the popular antique and gift emporiums of nearby Summerland, this comfortable haven of relaxed sophistication awaits its discerning new owner. It is an exceptional year-round or vacation sanctuary and is truly a piece of Big Sur right here n Santa Barbara.
