Modern in Montecito, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

In Montecito, the elite California town that is home to Oprah and more recently Ellen Des Generes, the overall design scheme runs toward Spanish revival with red-tiled roofs, arches and an old-European design sense. Step away from the villas a bit with this modern beauty. Just as opulent as other Montecito manors, The home sits on a hill with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. The home has Verscae gates and a motor court that can hold 40 cars. The home has over 5,700 square feet of space but only three bedrooms but with a view this delightful, you wouldn't really want to share it with a lot of overnight guests anyway. It is listed at $14.999 million. After the jump, with that view would you really want your bed to face that ugly painting instead?
