Step into the enchanting allure of a magical Montecito garden retreat, ideally located near The Montecito Club, the Lower Village, and Butterfly Beach. This hidden gem invites you to immerse yourself in the beauty of its vibrant gardens, one of renowned landscape architect Bob Clark's last projects. Tasked to bring multiple distinct "garden rooms" to life, his design does so beautifully. This exceptional, mostly single-level home offers 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, and a charming guest cottage that span over 4465± sq.ft. Step into a world of enchanting gardens bursting with vibrant colors and fragrant blossoms from April until November, through stately verandas and meandering pathways leading to hidden splendors inviting you to unwind and savor the magical surroundings. The stunning formal garden at the entry, where beautiful roses surround the custom gazebo, is a favorite spot for al fresco dining, and the peaceful side garden provides a quiet place to reflect. The rear gardens are intentionally more casual, highlighted by two separate entertaining patios, one with a tranquil fountain at its center. An extensive lower deck provides space to relax in the sun and incorporates a large spa, an outdoor shower, and a custom-designed fountain. Just below the charming one-bedroom guest house, benches and bamboo surround a Koi pond, and nearby, a secret garden is the perfect place to plan your day. The primary residence exudes architectural elegance with vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and French doors seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Stunning garden and mountain views create an ever-changing masterpiece from most every room. Highlights include a gourmet kitchen, formal dining room, wet bar, three fireplaces, and a first-floor primary suite. Additionally, three more bedrooms offer flexibility, with one currently serving as an ensuite library/office. This exceptional property is more than a home—it's a lifestyle haven for those who treasure tranquility, elegance, and the magic of Montecito living in an exceptionally convenient location.
