The expansive property sits on a total of 2.7 acres, two parcels with separate entrances, including the five-bedroom estate residence at 645 Olive and a recently remodeled two-bedroom home at 675 Olive. Realize the ideal Santa Barbara life with the resort-style pool area, gardens designed by Isabelle Greene, a Bocce ball court, a large orchard, garages for up to 5 cars, and beautiful mountain views. 645 Olive is also offered for sale without 675 Olive at $7,450,000. On either side of the foyer, a wealth of natural light compliments the formal dining room and intimate living room.

The living room features beautiful wood paneling, original wood floors, a hearth, and many windows and French doors opening to gracious patios and gardens.
Opposite the living room, the spacious formal dining room looks out through a picture window onto the garden and walkways.

Beyond the living room are the library and entry-level main bedroom. The library, which could be a 5th bedroom, has walls of built-in bookcases, a fireplace, and windows looking onto the front gardens, lending to a welcome retreat.

Down the hall, the sizeable main bedroom suite includes a sitting area, built-in bookcase, and French doors that lead to a private patio and gardens. The en-suite bathroom has a double vanity, soaking tub, shower, and two sizeable walk-in closets.

The additional bedrooms are all en-suite with French doors and windows, offering plentiful natural light and access to the gardens. In addition to the bedrooms, there is an office, spacious family room, extensive butler's pantry with its original built-in cabinetry, and sizeable laundry room.

The resort-style pool area sits between the main house and the orchard. Lounge pool-side or under the lemon-trellised arbor. Next to the pool and large three-car garage, the pool changing room/bathroom is easily accessible.

On the opposite end of the rural orchard, surrounded by olives and majestic oaks, a Bocce ball court and picnic area await.

Beyond the orchard is the back gate to the two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house. The recent remodel by Sheila White Interiors captures the best of our indoor-outdoor lifestyle and sunlight. An open living area features a large picture window, bi-fold French doors to the trellised patio, dining area, sitting areas, fireplace, and a kitchen with newer appliances. Wide plank wood floors, hand-made tiles, understated surfaces, and well-designed bathrooms are examples of the tasteful details.

There is no stone left unturned in this idyllic, remarkable, and historic home.

Montecito

Just east of Santa Barbara, Montecito is nestled between the azure Pacific Ocean and the picturesque foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountain Range. It boasts some of the most spectacular and expensive real estate in the United States, particularly above East Valley Road, an area with a perfect micro-climate. In fact it is consistently rated one of the wealthiest communities in the United States and is the home to many notable celebrities and stars. With approximately 10,000 residents and 3,000 households, Montecito retains much of its original charm. Many of the multi-million dollar estates lie tucked behind pillars and gates, far away from the public gaze. Coast Village Road is the hot spot for high end shopping. Fresh boutiques, vintage shops, fashionable home stores and fine dining establishments line Coast Village Road, Montecito’s main thoroughfare. There is everything from traditional Italian trattorias to French bakeries to authentic Mexican cantinas for the hungry visitor. Some of the nation’s classiest resorts are in Montecito, namely the Four Seasons Biltmore, San Ysidro Ranch, and the Montecito Inn. With amenities fit for a queen, it’s no wonder John and Jackie Kennedy shared their honeymoon here. Butterfly Beach, with its sparkling white sand and balmy ocean breezes is perfect for strolling, swimming, lounging or dog walking. The quaint winding roads of Montecito that amble through the lower foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountain Range give access to stunning hiking trails. Waterfalls, spectacular views, verdant vegetation and even hot springs can be viewed on gorgeous hikes dotted all over the area. Montecito is a peaceful, lush and luxurious jewel.
