Resting serenely in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains above Montecito and Summerland, and bordering the Los Padres National Forest, this distinctive retreat is an exceptional year-round or vacation sanctuary. The main home and 1-bedroom guest quarters, with their dramatically vaulted rooflines and aged barnwood exteriors, are set amidst tasteful drought-tolerant landscaping and towering eucalyptus trees. The panoramic ocean and mountain views from nearly every room and exterior vantage point are nothing short of spectacular.Inside, the ambiance reflects a mixture of tranquility and strength as remarkable architectural features complement stunning vistas of nature beyond the expanses of glass. Lofty vaulted ceilings, creative use of beautifully-finished wood throughout -- including on walls, ceilings and floors -- and other design elements create an effortless interplay of interior comfort and exterior splendor.The living room, for example, hosts not only a soaring vaulted ceiling, but also a significant skylight, multiple large windows, access to one of two decks, and an intimate step-down seating area featuring a charming fireplace. Upstairs, the loft-style master bedroom is bathed in daylight and presents a star show at night via skylight, while the guest room is awash in light and extraordinary views provided by banks of windows. A luxurious bath with dual sinks and an oversize glassed-in shower awaits nearby.The guest house is an exceptional retreat unto itself, hosting a bedroom, bath, living room, kitchen and loft, and can be reached via an elevated walkway from the main residence.At the end of a quiet road minutes from Montecitos 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.
