    What's special

    Capturing the timeless charm of San Ysidro Ranch, this renovated farmhouse sits beneath a canopy of mature oaks in Montecito's Golden Quadrangle. Designer Brigit Klein paired classic farmhouse character with exceptional craftsmanship: board and batten walls and ceilings, a Calacatta marble kitchen, hand applied Tadelakt plaster, bespoke cabinetry, designer wallpaper, and custom millwork throughout. Generously proportioned rooms open directly to terraces and gardens. Outside, two fireplaces anchor an outdoor living room and alfresco dining terrace, and a fire pit beneath the oaks overlooks a flower cutting garden. Mature roses, oversized raised beds, and an orchard of citrus, stone fruit, figs, and apples fill the grounds, with custom string lighting woven through the trees. A finished detached structure with a full bath may serve as a studio, office, or gym, with potential for ADU conversion. Montecito Union School District.
