Villa Vista Bella – Classic Tuscan Estate in the Montecito Foothills

At the end of a private lane is an impeccable Tuscan Villa nestled in the foothills of Montecito.  This brand-new home (completed in 2010) was designed to take full advantage of the beautiful ocean, island and mountain views.  From the rushing waterfalls and ponds you pass as you enter the property, to the commanding views from the veranda and infinity pool area, this property provides tranquil ambiance in grand style. The Mediterranean influence is evident in every detail of this notable property.   A custom stone staircase from the motor court leads to the ten-foot-high arched iron and glass front door entry. Curved lines, Italian marble, hand painted frescos, and custom tile work all combine to create an authentic Tuscan experience.

Sweeping views from the elegant living room become the backdrop for the upstairs living space. The living room boasts soaring ceilings, a robust fireplace, and a unique floor of inlaid Italian Nosiette tumbled marble and distressed Brazilian walnut hardwood.  While relaxing on the leather sofa, enjoy the coastal view which melds into the waters of the heated pool. The loggia off the living room is a focal point of this property. It offers stone patios, wisteria draped pergolas, specimen palm trees, and curved lawns which surround the pool and spa. Montecito’s mild coastal climate affords year-round outdoor enjoyment; making this outdoor oasis the favored place to truly enjoy your vacation. The gourmet kitchen offers ease and convenience for family meals and entertaining.  It has new professional-quality appliances, a prep sink, an Advantium microwave convection oven, and a spectacular double oven Thermador range.  Adjacent to the kitchen is the family room with wet bar, casual dining table, 50” flat screen TV and fireplace. It promises to be a comfortable gathering place for everyone; complete with games and books. Glass doors lead you from the family room to the covered outdoor loggia.  This large area has spectacular mountain and ocean views, and will be a favorite place to enjoy meals or just relax at the end of the day as you take in the spectacular evening sunsets.
