880 Knollwood Drive, Montecito, CA 93108

A tranquil oasis resting peacefully on approximately 1.4 beautiful acres near the base of the Montecito foothills, this superbly reimagined and updated home features today’s comforts and amenities in embrace of its mid-century design by esteemed architect Lutah Maria Riggs. The serenity of the residence is complemented by mesmerizing ocean and mountain views.

Inviting Common Areas

Throughout the home, beamed wood-slatted ceilings and richly-stained oak floors offer texture and contribute to the air of refined yet relaxed sophistication. In the expansive living room, natural light streams through windows flanking the fireplace, and via the large multi-pane picture window and a French door to the rear terrace. The formal dining room hosts a sizeable picture window, as well as a glass door with sidelights opening to the grounds.

Sleek, serviceable, and skylighted, the kitchen is, above all, versatile; its efficiency, aesthetic appeal, and high-end stainless appliances please both the catering chef and home cook.

Private Oases For owners, Family, and Guests

There are alluring bedrooms with baths ensuite, and a relaxing den and adjacent office.

The separate guest house sports a casual beach chic with its clean white board and batten façade and interior, shake roof, and overall low profile. Design elements such as a polygonal extension, porte cochère, and extended drive-through garage are seductive yet practical. Inside, the living room presents an ambiance of spaciousness and light thanks to its high cathedral ceiling embellished by delicate open wood rafters, a handsome wood floor, large multi-pane windows and a skylight. The bedroom, embraced by the five walls of its polygonal design, features an open rafter demi-dome ceiling.

Magical Grounds for Entertaining and Contemplation

The meticulously landscaped grounds conjure tranquility, with vibrant lawns surrounded by verdant foliage, a koi pond, an expansive flagstone multi-level terrace, and stone walkways. A welcoming pergola provides an inviting spot for al fresco dining while gazing at the natural beauty of Montecito's foothills.
