A Contemporary Masterpiece in Montecito

January 7, 2025|by Our Partners

Ensconced in the heart of California’s central coast, within the private enclave of Pepper Hill in the singularly enchanting village of Montecito, lies a home unlike any other. Resting on just over 2.5 acres of exquisitely manicured gardens across two separate parcels, the single-level, contemporary residence at 356 Woodley Road offers breathtaking 180-degree views of the ocean, coastline, and mountains—stretching as far as the eye can see.

Designed as the final work of renowned architect Jack Warner, this architectural masterpiece is a symphony of modern design and natural beauty, where clean lines meet expansive vistas to create a sanctuary for the senses. Adding to its artistic allure, sculptor Aristides Demetrios created two magnificent bronze sculptures that grace this property: Joyous Resonances on the north elevation and Fountain Spirit on the south elevation. These works of art establish a sublime axis through the spectacular flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Featured within the 7,500 square feet of this home are five bedrooms, five and a half baths, eighteen-foot ceilings in the living and dining rooms, and expansive glass doors and windows that create an endless experience of melding the spectacular outdoors with the inside.

This private property also features an orchard with over forty fruit trees, a lemon arbor with a hand-cut stone bench, offering a serene spot for reflection and solitude—a fire pit, bocce ball court, chicken coop, and a game room featuring shuffleboard, air hockey, and darts. For outdoor recreation and relaxation, enjoy the pool and spa, and the abundant mature landscaping, including towering oaks, vibrant bougainvillea, fragrant jasmine, and lush ferns, creating a verdant paradise, which truly imparts the tranquil essence of being in nature. A three-car garage provides ample space, while the property’s expansive eastern-oriented ocean-view loggia with an outdoor fireplace is the perfect perch to energize your body, mind, and spirit—offering an unparalleled vantage point for a daily sunrise ritual.

A truly exceptional offering, this home represents the epitome of elegance, privacy, and timeless sophistication in one of California’s most coveted locations.
