About this home
Set for completion by the end of November, this newly constructed home is ideally located in Montecito's Lower Village, less than half a mile from Coast Village Road and under a mile from the beach.
The main residence offers approximately 3,600 square feet, with four en-suite bedrooms and a powder room. Designed with an emphasis on volume and natural materials, the home features sixteen-foot vaulted ceilings throughout, complemented by eight-foot solid walnut doors. Custom walnut cabinetry brings warmth and depth to the interiors, paired with more than 25 slabs of marble that introduce natural variation and character throughout the home. Zellige tile, Waterworks fixtures, and custom lighting further define the thoughtfully curated spaces. The plaster craftsmanship leads you through squashed arches, to domed niches, and scalloped ceilings. Finishing details include Sun Valley Bronze hardware, Forbes & Lomax switches, and Prado outlets, carrying the attention to detail through every room.
A striking expression of the home's use of natural stone, the primary bathroom features a solid marble carved soaking tub positioned alongside a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the garden, creating a quiet connection to the surrounding landscape.
A separate guest house of nearly 800 square feet includes its own bedroom, bathroom, and full kitchen, providing comfortable accommodations for family and guests.
Designed around indoor-outdoor living, the property features a pool with an integrated spa, Baja shelf, and dedicated swim lane. An outdoor kitchen and heated outdoor dining area create an inviting setting for entertaining throughout the year. The pool is complemented by an Ipe wood deck, while Dalle de Margo limestone extends through the exterior hardscape. Stacked stone walls and a tumbled paver driveway add texture and character to the approach. The grounds are enclosed by mature privacy hedges reaching 12 to 18 feet in height, creating a private and secluded setting.
With construction underway and completion anticipated in November 2026, buyers have the opportunity to acquire a newly built custom home without the time and uncertainty of starting a build from the ground up....
