It's an entrance that sets the tone for everything this home has to offer. Designed for both entertaining and daily living, the chef's kitchen features dual oversized islands, a Wolf oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, hand-pounded copper sinks, a walk-in pantry, and custom ironwork chandeliers by local artisan Steven Handelman. The adjoining living and dining areas flow seamlessly from indoors to out.The expansive great room integrates multiple seating and game areas beneath soaring ceilings.

You can really feel the care that went into creating it.Perched behind the home, you'll find a peaceful, multi-tiered Pinot Noir vineyard featuring the coveted Swan and 777 clones, along with a grove of seedless lemon trees, sweet oranges (the kind that taste like sunshine), avocados, and kumquats a true flavor of California right in your own backyard.Just minutes from Santa Barbara and Montecito, and steps away from the Montecito Country Club and pickleball courts, this estate offers the best of all worlds and carries a unique piece of California history the area is said to be the final resting place of Lou Dillon, one of the most celebrated harness racing horses of her time...a history that brings a rare and storied charm to the estate.More than a home, it's a legacy.
