Montecito has rarely ever seen such a spectacular Tuscan estate such as this. It isn’t just the soaring ceilings, gracious living space or beautifully appointed amenities that make this home something special. It’s the fantastic ocean and mountain views, observed from the stone terraces. Here beneath the shade of the umbrella, with cool tiles under your feet, you can enjoy the sound of the breeze rustling the oaks and Italian cypress trees as the sun burns the haze off the blue stretch of ocean. It won’t be long before you feel as though you’ve been transported to the hilltop villages of Italy.
