Property Description
Perched at the end of a quiet lane and set on more than 2.25 acres, Villa Vista Bella is a breathtaking estate featuring two residences: a Tuscan-inspired main home and a newly remodeled guest house. Surrounded by sweeping views of the ocean, islands, harbor, and mountains, this gated compound offers extraordinary privacy, timeless architecture, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. The main residence spans ~7,000 square feet across two thoughtfully designed levels, featuring four spacious en-suite bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and two powder rooms. Rich architectural details bring warmth and character throughout the home, including vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, Brazilian walnut flooring, and limestone fireplaces, while expansive French doors frame the surrounding views. Upon entering, the home immediately reveals sweeping views of the ocean. Grand living and entertaining spaces are thoughtfully designed with a natural flow between rooms, creating a home that feels both elegant and highly livable. The gourmet kitchen, appointed with professional-grade appliances and refined finishes, opens seamlessly to the great room and breakfast area, while nearby doors lead to the covered loggia and terraces, creating an inviting setting for both everyday living and gatherings with family and friends. The spacious primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with fireplace, ocean views, and a spa-like bath. Additional amenities include several flexible spaces currently configured as a private office with custom built-ins, theater room, wine cellar, and gym. Designed to embrace Santa Barbara's renowned indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the grounds feature expansive terraces, a covered loggia for al fresco dining, and an infinity-edge pool and spa overlooking the dramatic coastal and mountain vistas. The beautifully landscaped gardens, originally designed by Robert E. Truskowski, offer manicured lawns, mature plantings, and tranquil pathways throughout the property. Privately positioned on the grounds, a newly remodeled ~1,200 sq. ft. two-bedroom, 1.5-bath guest house offers a private retreat for visitors or extended family. The guest residence features open living spaces, a full kitchen, and an upper-level deck with spa enjoying picturesque views. Additional highlights include two garage structures with space for three cars, workshop space, a generous motor court, a separate art studio located behind the guest house, and a charming fountain courtyard that creates a welcoming arrival to the property. Exceptionally private and beautifully designed, Villa Vista Bella offers a rare opportunity to experience the very best of Montecito living, where sweeping views, elegant architecture, and effortless indoor-outdoor spaces come together in one remarkable estate.
