San Ysidro Ranch Romance, Beautifully Refined
Capturing the timeless charm of San Ysidro Ranch, this impeccably renovated farmhouse is an exceptional offering in Montecito's coveted Golden Quadrangle. Renovated by acclaimed designer Brigit Klein, the residence blends classic architectural character with an extraordinary level of craftsmanship, complemented by thoughtfully considered materials, finishes, and architectural details. Set beneath a canopy of magnificent oak trees, the property is surrounded by lush, meticulously landscaped grounds. Graciously proportioned living spaces open to expansive terraces and gardens, blurring the line between indoors and out.
Beautifully curated finishes include board-and-batten walls and ceilings, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling Calcutta marble kitchen, hand-applied Tadelakt plaster, bespoke cabinetry, designer wallpaper, and custom millwork throughout. Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the outdoor spaces are equally compelling. Two fireplaces anchor the outdoor living room and alfresco dining terrace, while an enchanting fire pit beneath the majestic oaks overlooks a charming flower cutting garden. Mature roses, oversized raised garden beds, and a flourishing orchard with orange, mandarin, lime, lemon, fig, peach, apricot, plum, and apple trees enrich the landscape. Professionally designed landscape lighting enhances the grounds throughout. A beautifully finished detached structure with a full bath may serve as a studio, office, or gym, with potential for ADU conversion. Located within the highly regarded Montecito Union School District, the property offers timeless farmhouse architecture, sophisticated design, and an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle in one of Montecito's most sought-after neighborhoods.
