Villa Flora

 
 
Through the grounds, you will wander through a full acre of lush garden vignettes that offer a multitude of flowers, specimen oaks, expansive lawns, stone walls, and a succulent collection that is one of the most diverse in Montecito. Poolside there is a generous lounging area signatured by a massive stone fireplace and potted plants.. In the lower end of the grounds is a full bocce court enhanced by a cozy, stone-wall-enclosed sitting area that nestles up to a third wood burning fireplace. 
 
  

Stunning Oasis!
"Close to Santa Barbara lies this private villa oasis that makes you feel like you are living the dream. Our group of 8 was very comfortable in the 4 bedroom home, with generous living space and charming interior decor everywhere you look. The outdoor space takes it to the next level, with beautiful landscaping and gardens all over the property, not to mention the multiple fireplaces for relaxing with company. We didn't want to leave, and were entranced with the private slice of paradise. Looking forward to the next visit."

"I rented this property for a family weekend getaway. I wanted to make sure we rented a property with enough space to spread out and relax and this house was that and more. The vast garden space seems more like a relaxing park than a backyard. we enjoyed the succulent gardens, bocce ball court and not one, not two, but three completely separate outdoor fireplaces each with their own dedicated sitting areas. The house is filled with an eclectic mix of cool art and vintage finds mixed in a way that makes the house feel cozy and warm. In a nutshell, wonderful inside and out, hope to make it back!"

"Amazing property with so much to offer
This property is amazing! The gardens and outside are beyond gorgeous. The pool is huge and amazing. There are so many fireplaces and little sitting areas outside to enjoy. We had grand plans of leaving the property but needed up staying in the entire time! The inside is like a museum with so many beautiful antiques. We were very comfortable and found something new to enjoy every day in the house. The food delivery options are great too. We used DoorDash to have all our meals delivered. Book this property, you won’t regret it!"

Villa Flora is a mesmerizing property in the heart of Montecito. To complement its spiritually designed architecture and gardens, every inch of the home has been appointed so as to create an atmosphere that speaks to the human soul. After opening the historic front door designed by famed architect, Lutah Maria Riggs, you will pass through the archway of the stone tiled foyer, into the luxurious living room. On the hardwood floor rests a creative assemblage of furniture and rugs from around the world.

  
The beamed ceiling, charming fireplace, and view of one of the numerous fountains and gardens, gives a feeling of Spanish grandeur. From there you are drawn through bold archways into a soothing, stone tiled sun room with broad views of the garden and French doors that invite you out to the diverse potted greenery that frames a relaxing flagstone patio. 
   
   
A most charming family room with stone fireplace, eclectic vintage finds and Persian rugs provides panoramic views of the patio, garden, and expansive flagstone swimming pool. 
    
 

Upstairs is the master suite with king sized bed, a cozy outdoor patio, an adjacent sunlit dressing room, and a his and hers bathroom with a claw foot tub, & garden views from the dramatic floor to ceiling window. 

 
   
On the first floor, at the end of a sun drenched hallway lies the second master bedroom with its own bathroom, king sized bed, and French doors that fill the room with sunlight and open up to the garden patio. Off the living room is the 3rd bedroom complete with its own bathroom, queen bed, and adjacent bedroom with  another queen that holds a charming couch that can sleep another person, in the 5' 4' range and a pullout couch that can sleep one.
Between the two bedrooms is the  quirky office space with plenty of books, vintage finds & art to get the creative juices flowing. Here, you may plop down your laptop or choose from a myriad of cool books, while you serendipitously gaze out through a large picture window at the patio and garden beyond.
  
 

A fully appointed kitchen with 6 burner Viking range and marble-top island food prep area allows for the creation of family feasts. Off the kitchen is a cozy dining room that provides views of gardens and patios through archways and French doors. The kitchen opens out to a  patio surrounded by gardens, a full grilling station, sensuous pergola covered sitting area, and a robust, Mediterranean styled wood burning fireplace. 

   


A spacious laundry room enhances longer term cleaning, and parking is provided for at least six vehicles. Downtown Santa Barbara is less than 10 minutes away, and beautiful Miramar beach, favorite of the locals, is 3 minutes away.
Whether you are sitting in one of the gardens on a beautiful summer day, or chilling out in the family room during a winter rain, Villa Flora is like a slice of heaven.

 

Cheers & all the best,
