Located in one of the most prestigious areas in the heart of Montecito, with panoramic ocean and mountain views lies the Chateau of Riven Rock, Rockbridge. Immaculately clipped hedges border the palatial estate’s stone-pillared entry gates. The entrance opens onto a wide lane paved with hand cut stone that leads through a grand archway of undulating trees to the main residence, situated on sweeping lawns, tiered rose gardens, tall Italian cypress trees, blooming lavender, and century old olive trees. Designed by Sorrell Design of Montecito, Rockbridge is a concept and construction masterpiece that took nearly five years to create and resulted in a residence without peer. Complete with a private two-bedroom guesthouse of approximately 1011 sq. ft. is sited on the southern slope of the garden that opens out to a stone tiled courtyard facing the main residence. In another peaceful area of the grounds, overlooking a tranquil pond is the Asian inspired Teahouse; the ideal setting for moments of reflection, meditation, or yoga.
No other town does luxury or exudes an effortlessly chic vibe like Montecito. Walk among the stars, live a life of leisure, and learn a few things about what makes Santa Barbara so special with a getaway (or two) in this tucked-away seaside haven. Starting in the 1880s, movers and shakers from around the world vacationed in Santa Barbara. The fantastic climate hooked more than a few, and they decided to plant some roots. Today, Montecito harbors many a celeb, from Oprah Winfrey and Julia Louis-Dreyfus to Rob Lowe and Jeff Bridges. However, celebrity isn’t celebrated as much as it’s merely sensed, and famous residents and regular townsfolk shop, dine, and hobnob together on Coast Village Road and the Upper Village. When cruising Montecito’s social and retail districts or tree-shaded lanes, do what the locals do: hang out on a sunny restaurant patio, read the paper, and don’t make a fuss if you see a famous face.
