Down a private lane, 1381 East Valley Road unfolds as one of Montecito’s most imaginative private retreats—a one-acre wonderland where architecture, artistry, and maximalist expression coexist in rare harmony. With a 4,032-square-foot, single-level main residence and 885-square-foot Parisian-style guest villa, it’s like having your own exclusive resort, a place for friends and family to gather, just minutes from Montecito’s Upper Village. And, because it could be available furnished, you really could move in tomorrow.
The three-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath, custom-built main residence balances the theatrical and the serene. Light, color, and texture are orchestrated with precision, creating interiors that feel at once expressive and deeply comfortable, with vaulted ceilings, custom steel doors throughout, fabric wall treatments and Hermès wallpaper, and whimsical surfaces from Europe. It’s an aesthetic reminiscent of gallery spaces and high-end hotels.
Living, family, dining, and den spaces flow outward, each room connecting directly to terraces and gardens. At the center of the home, the kitchen serves as both anchor and showpiece: a dramatic composition of moody hues and clean lines, warmed by the glow of natural light.
The estate delivers its most cinematic moments outdoors, which offer abundant outdoor living spaces. Patios level with the interiors create seamless flow, while marble extends in sweeping planes from rooms to gardens. The pool, cabana, and outdoor terrace are complemented by a hand-poured fire pit, lush landscaping, and a private sports court—evoking the ambiance of a personal resort.
This evocative yet refined Montecito retreat is more than a home—it’s a curated experience where style, architecture, and nature converge.
1381 East Valley Road is being offered for $12,250,000. To schedule a visit, contact the Marsha Kotlyar Estate Group at 805-565-4014 or [email protected].
