Private Montecito Sanctuary

Set against a dramatic mountain backdrop in coveted Montecito, this light-filled Mediterranean estate evokes the timeless romance of the Tuscan countryside. Surrounded by mature olive trees and orchards, the 5-bedroom, 6½-bath residence offers a rare blend of privacy, architectural pedigree, and refined luxury.

Originally designed by renowned architect Don Nulty, the home was extensively re-envisioned in 2018 by celebrated designer Steve Hermann, whose distinctive work has captured the imagination of Los Angeles’ entertainment elite and business leaders. The result is a masterful fusion of classic Mediterranean architecture and sophisticated contemporary design.

​

The interiors showcase exceptional materials and craftsmanship throughout, including chevron French oak flooring, a custom-cut marble foyer, soaring barrel-vaulted ceilings, and three stone fireplaces. The chef’s kitchen features ILVE Italian range and oven, Miele dishwasher, and Kalista fixtures, complemented by elegant Forbes & Lomax brass switches from England and a Savant whole-home audio system.

​

Luxuriously appointed bathrooms feature Kelly Wearstler and Ann Sacks mosaic marble, Samuel Heath exposed showers, and carefully curated designer lighting including vintage Italian Serge Mouille sconces. Custom windows, graceful arches, and bespoke architectural details enhance the home’s timeless character.

​

Outdoors, a sparkling pool and multiple secluded patios create a private retreat ideal for both entertaining and everyday Montecito living. A covered portico with outdoor fireplace provides an inviting setting for evening gatherings, while the surrounding grounds capture the serenity and beauty of the Central Coast landscape.

A rare offering that embodies the essence of Montecito luxury - timeless architecture, exceptional design, and effortless indoor-outdoor living.
