Considered one of Carpinteria’s most prolific trophy properties, the home is perfectly situated between the Santa Ynez mountains and the Pacific Ocean, showcasing authentic Tuscan architecture by renowned local architect Don Nulty. The offering boasts exquisitely manicured and landscaped grounds that have been meticulously designed and developed over more than half a decade, curating a simply unparalleled lifestyle of natural beauty and artful sophistication.
