Property Description
This secluded1.3acre compound is a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind property that was conceived by Adele Wilder, a Hollywood designer who brought her love of the English countryside to the legendary Robert Trent Jones-designed Birnam Wood Golf Club. With extreme privacy and spectacular views, this house epitomizes the indoor/outdoor living that Montecito is famous for, as the entire property is oriented toward the exquisite Montecito mountains with rooms opening out onto four unique patios that connect to the property's lemon, orange and avocado trees, which surround the house. As you approach, you are struck by the homes' picturesque multiple rooflines which include the main house, two separate guest houses, an oversized two car garage and a separate golf cart garage. The main house has a massive primary suite with an adjacent office, ample his and hers closets and a luxurious bathroom. An additional en-suite bedroom, a powder room, window- lined, wide hallways, a custom walk-in wine room, a gorgeous living room await. Three indoor fireplaces and a glass-walled kitchen/great room with two sets of French doors lead to an outdoor dining patio. Two rounds of upgrades since the house was built have modernized and enhanced its unique, solid beauty, including a show-stopping brick and glass walled dining room topped with a domed skylight. Adjacent to the main house, the first guest suite is a semi-attached bedroom with full bathroom, and there is also a detached 2 room guest quarters/ADU with a full bathroom and kitchenette. The compound totals four bedrooms, five bathrooms with fruit trees, myriad grounds, four huge brick patios, a custom fountain, gas fire pit and built-in grill. There is simply nothing like it in all of Birnam. Within the 226 lush acres of Birnam Wood, members enjoy a plethora of amenities from golf, tennis, pickleball, to exquisite dining, a gym, clubhouse activities, and 24-hour guard gated security.
