Designed with a reverence for European craftsmanship by renowned Santa Barbara architect Don Nulty, the home features 200-year-old hand-hewn coffered ceilings, Belgian wide-plank French oak floors, and multiple French limestone fireplaces. A dramatic two-story stone fireplace anchors the grand living room, where walls of glass frame the coastline beyond. The formal dining room seats fourteen with ease, while the chef's kitchen -- appointed with a six-burner range, four ovens, dual dishwashers, butler's pantry, and seated wet bar -- was designed for both elevated entertaining and everyday living. The floor plan balances grandeur with comfort: a warm family room with fireplace, expansive media center, breakfast/game nook, walk-out lower level with wine cellar and billiards space, mudroom with drip-dry station, and multiple powder rooms. A Romeo and Juliet balcony overlooks the grounds, and upstairs a gallery library and two generous offices create refined work-from-home spaces. With all furnishings included, this home comes ready for you to make it your own.

The primary suite is a retreat unto itself, complete with soaking tub, oversized wardrobe, and a discreet secondary staircase offering both privacy and peace of mind. Outdoors, the estate lives like a private resort. Pool and spa, bocce court, horseshoe pit, firepit, olive grove, fully-enclosed vegetable gardens, and meandering gravel paths create an atmosphere of relaxed sophistication.

A detached guest retreat of approximately 1152 square feet sleeps four and includes a loft, sitting area, powder bath, and outdoor shower. Footings have also been poured for an 800-sf cabana west of the pool.
