2678 Santa Barbara Avenue
Los Olivos, CA 93441

A property of rare beauty and serenity, it begins to reveal itself when passing through the gated entry courtyard. The expansive and very private grounds feel like a personal park with countless trees and lush landscaping and yet is moments away from the village of Los Olivos and all that it offers. The house unfolds and flows seamlessly with virtually no wasted space offering lofted ceilings and easy access to the outdoors from virtually every room including the primary bedroom suite with its own private sculpture garden. Open yet cozy, sophisticated yet grounded, it envelops you with the simplicity of restrained elegance. Across from the main house is the Japanese inspired ''folly,'' a separate space for work or contemplation, clad in yakisugi or charred wood with walls of glass overlooking the sun dappled maple grove (an additional 400 sq.ft). Adjacent to the kitchen/dining area there is an outdoor kitchen which overlooks the bocci court and sheltered outdoor entertainment areas. Overall, a home of great intimacy yet perfect for large events, served by secured, off-street parking for twenty cars. One bay of the three car garage is currently in use as a ceramics studio but was also created as a ''cold room'' for wine storage. Property is fenced and gated. Exquisitely maintained as would be expected. There is also an emergency generator which serves the property.
