There is a quiet permanence to 8500 Golf Drive--an estate created in the tradition of Santa Barbara's most enduring residences. Set along the fairways of Camelback Country Club, the property was reimagined by renowned architect Catherine Hayes and renovated by GM Hunt with a depth of detail rarely found today. The 5,526 sq ft main residence features hand-troweled plaster walls, substantial wood beams, graceful archways, French doors and beautifully proportioned rooms overlooking the golf course. Three en-suite bedrooms, an elegant office/library and chef's kitchen complete the main home. A separate 1,196 sq ft two-bedroom guest house with full kitchen carries the same timeless character. Lush lawns, rose gardens and an outdoor ramada complete this exceptional Santa Barbara estate.
