THE SYCAMORE ESTATE Contemporary Tranquility on Three Acres
“Our design solution evolved into a curvilinear building form that follows the natural contours of the land, the living spaces radiating about the radius of the curve and placed to take advantage of specific site views.” ARCHITECT, ANDY NEUMANN
Presented by John A Sener
PROPERTY OVERVIEW THE EVOLUTION OF AN IDEA BEGINS AT THE SOURCE
From the Montecito foothills came the inspiration for The Sycamore Estate, a contemporary masterpiece resonating tranquility and respect for the natural surroundings. The base principle of developing this sweeping property was to restore the three-plus acres to its pastoral beauty. The estate blends seamlessly with the natural landscape, taking full advantage of its location above the coastline. The indoor-outdoor personality is undeniable.
MAIN RESIDENCE As a unifying element, the bent and spaced wood ceiling connects interior spaces. Tall curved walls of espressotinted Venetian plaster offer a dramatic contrast to pale limestone floors and sliding glass doors framing the landscape. A dual-sided stacked stone fireplace with solid copper faces is the dramatic ballast to the great room. A massive, pivoting glass front door makes it clear that nothing is to stand in the way of the panoramic vistas anchoring this breathtaking estate.
LUXURY SUITES Three luxury suites are each serene and private. The master suite, with sweeping views, is appointed with rich cherry wood soft-touch cabinetry, stone accents, and a generous walk-in closet. Spa-like bathrooms feature natural stone, glass, and ambient lighting. Automatic window shades appear at the touch of a screen, adding privacy and sun-screening capabilities to the bedrooms and living spaces.
The kitchen elements function with precision and perfection. Dual islands of copper-colored fossilized granite, stainless steel appliances, wine cooler, and a separate, spacious, well-equipped butler’s pantry define a beautifully designed culinary hub. As essential “work-from-home” quarters, the options consist of two formal offices (one of which can function as the fourth bedroom) and a sundrenched open study with a built-in desk and filing system.
The pool terrace is resort-like in its multi-level design with a rushing waterfall from the spa into the pool; the lawn is the ultimate playing field for kids, dogs and fun-loving guests! With significant potential and foresight, the meadow in its rustic beauty could be developed as the site of a championship tennis court. The mountain and ocean views add the final punctuation to the spectacular backdrop making it an ideal setting for entertaining.
The Sycamore Estate is a place of respite with a modern ideology, where articulate detailing in material choices, acoustics, security, craftsmanship, and ingenuity resides in the most memorable setting available today in Montecito.
POOL HOUSE
The Pool House is a one-bedroom poolside oasis. Soaring vaulted ceilings, elevated windows, and sliding glass doors frame the beauty of the treetops and rose gardens, adding an environmentally friendly feel to the guest quarters. In contrast, a modern kitchenette of stainless steel adds a sleek modern vibe.
The wind passes through sycamores, oaks, and olive trees harmoniously planted amid the verdant citrus orchard, walking paths, and vegetable gardens. Carving through the property, a creek-like water feature meanders past terraces, gardens, and walking paths terminating in a seasonal pond. Various terraces invite quiet contemplation, relaxed gatherings, or the ability to dress up for lavish entertaining.
