Location: 1188 E Mountain Drive, Montecito, CA

Price: $16,000,000

Designed by the famous architect James Morris, who used classical Palladian elements to build what was quoted in the Santa Barbara Book of Architecture as “one of the best houses of traditional design in the area.” Spectacular two-acre property with privacy, built to host the grandest of parties, with parking for forty cars. Extreme care has been taken by builders and architects to create the most eco-friendly lush gardens in Montecito. This Euro-style estate commands 180-degree vistas of breathtaking unobstructed ocean and island views. The original owner believed in Feng Shui and everything in the home had to reflect a balance of energies for health and good fortune. The grand four-bedroom estate offers a master suite with fireplace and en suite office/library with ocean and mountain views. This dreamworld of lustrous marble, dramatic glass walls, volume ceilings, marble terraces, and dancing studio bespeaks of sophistication and epitomizes the classic tradition of Santa Barbara.
