Effortless California living meets timeless Montecito elegance at 2125 Ten Acre Road, a custom-built residence in coveted Birnam Wood. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking the fourth fairway, with direct access to the golf course, this single-level garden home rests on one of the largest, most usable parcels within the community. The picturesque 1.4 acres are framed by soaring mountain views, romantic oaks, and manicured park-like grounds.
From the moment you arrive, a balance of French country details and thoughtful, understated craftsmanship introduce the luxe yet inviting essence of this home. Inspired by the San Ysidro Ranch, architect Jerry Goodman and home builder Mark Trabucco combined luxury with versatility to create seamless indoor-outdoor living across a generous floor plan spanning approximately 3,714 square feet. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom layout offers ultimate flexibility to satisfy the convenience of any need or personal preference. Three bedrooms are situated in the main part of the house, while the fourth bedroom suite is in a separate wing with an ensuite bathroom and its own private entrance; the floor plan can easily be reimagined as three bedrooms with an attached caretaker’s wing.
Inside, discover a harmonious blend of contemporary livability and old-world European touches. An abundance of natural light pours in through French doors to complement the wood ceilings, hardwood pecan floors, custom hardware and lighting, and warm accents. The great room is the heart of the home, with high cathedral ceilings and large windows that give way to stunning golf course views. Although it offers a formal dining area and wet bar, warmed by the stone fireplace, it feels relaxed enough to enjoy a family dinner or evening cocktail.
The enviable kitchen flows into the family room and features an additional stone fireplace with built-in seating. Adorned with limestone countertops, skylights, custom cabinetry, and dual farmhouse sinks, its limitless potential is any chef’s dream come true. Equipped with a Wolf range stove and Sub-Zero refrigerator, along with two Fisher Paykel dish drawers, it’s the perfect setting to bring new recipes to life.
Privately tucked away in its own wing, the primary bedroom indulges in peaceful garden views and private courtyard access. With lavish Italian marble, the ensuite bathroom boasts a dual vanity sink, spacious toilet room, a large shower, and spa-like bath. This bathroom connects to the second bedroom, which can also serve as a handsome den, and both bedrooms have generous walk-in closets.
The third and fourth bedrooms are quietly positioned on the opposite side of the house. While one bedroom is outfitted with office built-ins and bunk beds, the other functions as a separate, self-sufficient bedroom suite. This fourth bedroom is separated by the laundry and has its own bathroom and private entry—offering flexible ease of living for extended stays from family or live-in staff. Nearly every room of the house opens to the outdoors, emphasizing the strong connection to nature.
The backyard, lined by a custom stone masonry perimeter wall, is complete with a swimming pool, meandering gravel pathways, expansive patios, and an outdoor stone fireplace.
Birnam Wood homeowners take advantage of the private, full-service golf club that includes world-class amenities such as premier dining, tennis courts, fitness center, 24/7 guard-gated security, and a variety of social programs. Emanating warmth and luxury in equal measure, this serene garden estate is a testament to the art of living well.
2125 Ten Acre Road is being offered for $11,200,000. To schedule a visit, contact the Marsha Kotlyar Estate Group at 805-565-4014 or [email protected].
