Situated on 2.5 acres of private, gated and magnificently landscaped grounds with south facing expansive views, this Santa Barbara style home with European detailing evokes the South of France. Both the house and property were fully rebuilt and re-landscaped in 2011. The home features the finest in materials and craftsmanship, including rich walnut flooring, artisan stone, custom French cabinetry and Italian tilt and turn windows. The gardens were designed by renowned local landscape architect, Theresa Clark, who created a setting at once elegant and inviting. Vanishing doors, large windows, French Doors and surrounding terraces and balconies overlooking the property and beyond offer the ultimate in indoor-outdoor living.
