    What's special

    A singular opportunity awaits the discerning buyer who values classical proportions, rich historical provenance, ocean views, and premier location minutes from Montecito's Upper and Lower Villages. This remodeled 1894 Italianate Mission style villa was built by artist Ralph Radcliffe Whitehead, and in 1911 was purchased and further developed by Union Carbide President George Knapp. Abundant in natural light, this was the original home on the famous 70- acre Arcady estate. Graciously situated on a hill-top, this dramatic 5,500+ square foot, three-story, 6 Bedroom, 5 Bath home contains the ingredients of an ideal Montecito lifestyle-inspiring public rooms, a large eat-in kitchen, ocean views, swimming pool & spa, and thoughtfully landscaped extensive gardens and formal grounds.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
