Sotto Il Monte
Location
One of California's most splendid estates, this breathtaking property is the most significant property in Montecito to become available in many years. Sotto Il Monte (Beneath The Mountain) was designed between 1927 and 1928 by George Washington Smith, Santa Barbara's premier architect of the time, for Kirk Johnson, one of the founders and President of the First National Bank of Beverly Hills. Completed in 1929, the Tuscan-style residence was designed to show-case panoramic views of the Santa Ynez Mountains and has benefited from extensive refurbishments over the past thirty years. Today, it represents the ultimate estate, retaining its European-inspired heritage and patina while providing the latest conveniences and amenities. Santa Barbara is a charming seaside community located 90 miles north of Los Angeles, offering a unique combination of modern convenience and old-world charm while preserving its hallmark Spanish Colonial architectural style. An easy drive from the amenities of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara also offers its own abundance of shops, restaurants, theaters, sporting clubs, and uncrowded beaches. Just south of Santa Barbara, Montecito's wooded hills and Pacific Ocean provide a splendid setting for its charming village, estates, and country clubs. Well-established as an international enclave and close to major airports in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles, Montecito offers first-class restaurants, superb shopping, world-class polo grounds, and white-sand beaches.
