900 Toro Canyon Road
Montecito, CA
AT ONE WITH NATURE.
A private ocean view Shangri-La, situated on 4+ acres in Montecito's exclusive Toro Canyon, invites creativity, renewal and connection to nature. The magical grounds are gorgeously curated with vibrant beautifully maintained oak trees allowing for dappled sunlight, flat areas for entertaining, yoga, and games or simply relaxing by the sparkling 45 ft ocean view swimming pool. The main house built in 1989 with craftsman inspired architecture, is approximately 2500 sq ft (buyer to verify) and features warm, intimate and public spaces, including 2 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms, a two-story entry, with an office alcove ideal for writing or painting. The Living Room offers built in seating, an inviting fireplace, and sliding doors flowing easily to ocean facing patios, the picturesque pool, and the gardens in every direction. The dining room faces the ocean and opens to southern and eastern patios. The well equipped kitchen offers luxury appliances, mahogany cabinets, adjacent butler's pantry with serving access to the Eastern patio outdoor dining area.
Several years ago, the sellers added a sensational, no expenses spared ocean/island/mountain view guest house over the three car garage designed by architect Britt Jewett. The guest house offers Monitor ceilings, a galley kitchen, custom stone/tile work throughout, Riviera bronze clerestory windows and custom Bronze doors. This sanctuary is located 10 minutes east of Montecito's Upper and Lower Villages, and is just up the hill from the beautiful Santa Claus Lane Beach known for swimming, and charming shops and restaurants.
