Montecito Mediterranean in the Oaks
This Montecito Mediterranean home is in the perfect location tucked amongst the Oaks for which Montecito is so famous. A flagstone courtyard with an outdoor kitchen, wood-fired pizza oven, and pergola is surrounded by colorful, drought-tolerant perennials such as Lavender, Sage, and Rosemary. A refashioned edible garden, ponds, and fountains make this a perfect, private oasis.
We have a long history with this property, having worked for the past three owners. Situated amid majestic Oaks, this garden is truly an oasis of calm.
The Flagstone patio at the front door, allows one to sit and enjoy the pond and fountain beneath the shade of the spectacular Oak. Here is the spot for morning coffee, tea, or a cool beverage on a hot summer afternoon.
The addition of a Flagstone courtyard, and outdoor kitchen complete with grill, pizza oven, and pergola. Perfect for outdoor family dining any time of year.
The updated edible garden area has easily accessible raised garden beds.
Meandering paths take on through the garden filled with drought-tolerant Mediterranean plants such as Bougainvillea, Lavender, Lion’s Tail, Sages, Rockrose, Rosemary, Loropetalum, Santa Barbara Daisy, etc.
The many private spaces and “secret gardens” add to the enjoyment of the Montecito foothills.
This garden is one-of-a-kind in every way. Enjoy!
