Inspired by California’s early haciendas & elements of classic Old World design, the architects and landscape masters of Paraiso have created one of Montecito’s finest world-class estates. The exclusive, 12.8+/- acre, private knoll top offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Santa Barbara city and harbor, the Channel Islands and the Santa Ynez mountain range. The 11,000 square foot main residence combines all of the features and amenities of a regal lifestyle, with the comfortable, simple elegance which exemplifies Santa Barbara's unique approach to enjoying life in this sunny oasis.

Here one instantly realizes they are entering a truly unique and amazing home as both the classical architecture and the ocean views completely consume the entrant. Each room is designed to both enhance the livability of the home for its owners and take advantage of the 360 degrees of views and the nearly all useable 12 acres surrounding them.
