"Paraiso"
3010 Vista Linda Lane
$18,750,000

Inspired by California’s early haciendas & elements of classic Old
World design, the architects and landscape masters of Paraiso have
created one of Montecito’s finest world-class estates. The exclusive,
12.8+/- acre, private knoll top offers breathtaking panoramic views of
the Santa Barbara city and harbor, the Channel Islands and the Santa
Ynez mountain range. The 11,000 square foot main residence combines
all of the features and amenities of a regal lifestyle, with the
comfortable, simple elegance which exemplifies Santa Barbara's unique
approach to enjoying life in this sunny oasis.

Pass through the private gated entrance, down the long olive tree
lined drive to the motor court. Enter through the double wrought iron
and glass doors into the inviting, yet grand entrance hall. Here one
instantly realizes they are entering a truly unique and amazing home
as both the classical architecture and the ocean views completely
consume the entrant. Each room is designed to both enhance the
livability of the home for its owners and take advantage of the 360
degrees of views and the nearly all useable 12 acres surrounding them.
From the galleria, one can reach all of the major rooms of the
residence, the formal salon and dining rooms, the library, family
room, the sumptuous master plus three luxurious guest suites, the
chef’s kitchen, media room, wine cellar & tasting room. Just off the
family room and guest suites is the salt water pool and pool cabana. A
1,200 square-foot second residence sits on its own private knoll
offering two bedrooms & two bathrooms and its own 3 car garage; a
manager’s quarters adjoins a separate 7 car garage which is in
addition to the 3 car garage attached to the main residence. A fully-
equipped European-style dining terrace capable of accommodating over
200 guests sits just above the North lawn with sweeping views to the
ocean.

The landscaped grounds, host a rose garden, hundreds of fruit &
ornamental trees, a pine and redwood forest, walking paths & extensive
water features plus a 1200 sq. ft. Redwood green house. Blessed with
almost year around sunshine, this estate offers a veritable potpourri
of sites and sounds, views and resting spots for residents and
visitors alike. Just minutes from the villages of Montecito, the
beaches and Santa Barbara. Come. Luxuriate in your own private
"Paraiso".
