Perched high in the hills above Summerland, this extraordinary five-acre trophy estate captures the absolute peak of coastal luxurywhere panoramic ocean and Channel Islands views meet the dramatic rise of the Santa Ynez Mountains. Designed by renowned architect Robert Klammer, this 4,157-square-foot architectural sanctuary features soaring 12-to-16-foot ceilings across the main living spaces, dramatic walls of glass, and a procession of skylights that flood the open, airy floor plan with natural light. Perfectly positioned to maximize privacy and scale, the home offers three spacious bedrooms, four bathrooms, a private office, and living spaces built for world-class entertaining that frame unobstructed views of the Pacific and the Montecito Valley. Even the guest bedrooms and office carry a generous 10-foot ceiling height.The arrival experience is unmatched, located on a private road and anchored by a grand terra cotta motor court with a custom water fountain. Beyond the entrance, resort-style grounds unfold into an entertainer's paradise: sprawling limestone and concrete terraces, lush botanical gardens, multiple al fresco dining patios, and a sparkling pool and spa set against lawns that stretch directly to the horizon. Enhancing its unique charm, the estate also functions as a private coastal ranch, boasting over 200 avocado trees along with citrus and fruit groves.For the equestrian enthusiast, the property is fully equipped with a barn, corral, wash station, paddocks, and grazing grounds capable of housing up to ten horses with direct access to endless riding trails right from the back gate, leading all the way to the beach.
