Built in 1997 and thoughtfully oriented to capture sweeping views of the Santa Ynez Mountains, the ocean, and Channel Islands, the home reflects a deep appreciation for both craftsmanship and nature. A gated entrance leads to a private, oak-studded acre where mature trees and established, natural vegetation create a sense of serene arrival. Inside, high ceilings and generously scaled rooms offer a sense of elegance, volume and proportion that is increasingly rare. An array of windows and doors seamlessly connect to the surrounding landscape.
