Inside, Calacatta marble, solid oak, and refined smart-home functionality bring warmth, substance, and ease to the home's beautifully composed interiors. The primary suite is a true retreat, while the kitchen and gathering spaces are designed to accommodate both everyday comfort and large-scale hosting. With 6 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, a guest house, gym, steam room, sauna, and sport court, this is a turnkey Montecito compound of uncommon privacy and presence, moments from the best of the Lower Village, beaches, and Montecito's celebrated lifestyle.

Upper Village, located between San Ysidro Road and East Valley Road, is a boutique and residential Montecito neighborhood with a walkable village core and mountain-to-ocean scenery. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Upper Village crossroads of San Ysidro Road and East Valley Road, where sidewalk patios, design studios, and small galleries set a polished, low-key rhythm. Local pillars include Pierre Lafond Market & Deli, Caffe Luxxe, and the Montecito Country Mart. Spanish Revival and ranch-style homes sit behind hedges and stone walls, with palms and oaks framing curving lanes. Foothill light and coastal air shape an outdoors-forward routine, with trailheads and beaches a short drive away. The pace stays quiet after dark, with daytime café traffic and errands defining the scene.
