The Estate at Montecito

Montecito, California, United States

8 Bedrooms

10 Bathrooms

14 Guests

Set across two acres in Montecito, The Estate at Montecito combines the architectural heritage of a 1920s residence with contemporary comforts and an extensive collection of private amenities. Originally designed by George Washington Smith, the gated estate brings together historic character and modern refinement, with a main house, guest house and three additional guest cottages arranged throughout the grounds.

The landscaped estate offers a private swimming pool and hot tub alongside a selection of spaces for outdoor recreation, including tennis, pickleball and bocce courts. A vine-covered loggia provides an atmospheric setting for outdoor lounging and dining, complete with its own fireplace. The upper-level terrace offers another place to gather, with outdoor dining overlooking the surrounding grounds, while courtyards with fountains, firepits and mature landscaping create intimate outdoor settings throughout the property.

Inside, the main house combines period-inspired details with contemporary amenities. The extraordinary 52-foot-long living room features a fireplace and a sophisticated palette of mahogany, brass and travertine, complemented by a sound system. The kitchen is connected to a courtyard through French doors, where a fountain and firepit extend the living space outdoors. A breakfast nook with its own fireplace provides a more intimate setting for morning meals, while the formal dining room opens through French doors to another courtyard and firepit.

The Estate at Montecito offers eight bedrooms and ten bathrooms across its various residences. Four suites, including the master suite, are located in the main house. The separate guest house includes a bedroom, living room, kitchen and two bathrooms, providing an independent retreat for guests. Three further guest cottages add additional accommodation, with one featuring its own sauna.

A home theatre, billiards room and wine cellar accessed through a hidden book case provide dedicated spaces for indoor entertainment, complementing the estate’s extensive outdoor facilities. The combination of multiple residences and generous communal areas allows larger groups to gather comfortably while retaining a sense of privacy.

The Estate at Montecito offers a secluded setting within one of Southern California's most desirable communities. The property provides easy access to the area’s beaches, restaurants, boutiques and surrounding Santa Ynez Mountains, while its extensive private facilities make it possible to enjoy an entire holiday without leaving the grounds.
