Property Description
Nestled in the heart of Montecito, 240 Miramar Avenue is a remarkable legacy property offering exceptional privacy, timeless architecture, and nearly two acres of serene, park-like grounds. Originally the historic farmhouse of the renowned Hedge Row estate, the property is now completely enclosed by mature hedges and fencing, with two private gated entrances creating a rare sense of seclusion just moments from the coast and Upper Village. Designed by acclaimed architect Peter Becker and completed in 2001, the Hampton-inspired shingle residence spans approximately 9,000 square feet and combines classic Cape Cod elegance with California indoor-outdoor living. The home features seven bedrooms (with potential for eight), eight full bathrooms, and six fireplaces, with gracious scale and natural light throughout. The primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with dual bathrooms, expansive walk-in closets, and a spa-like soaking tub, while the main living spaces are thoughtfully designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living. Formal living and dining rooms, a spacious great room, billiards room, and bar area provide multiple gathering spaces with warmth and sophistication. The grounds are equally impressive -- a botanical sanctuary featuring heirloom rose bushes over a century old, mature specimen trees, fruit trees, and manicured gardens. Outdoor amenities include a sparkling pool, three formal fountains, a lighted bocce court, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with barbecue, refrigeration, and dining areas. An outdoor shower and dedicated pet washing station add both charm and practicality. Additional features include a three-car garage, separate she shed, gardener's shed, comprehensive security system, private road access, and a private well supplying the landscape and pool. This extraordinary estate offers a rare combination of history, privacy, and refined living in one of Montecito's most coveted locations.
